Country X (a developed country) currently has a per capita ecological footprint of 3.2 hectares, while country Y (a developing country) has a per capita ecological footprint of 0.6 hectare. If everybody in the world has an ecological footprint the size of the average footprint between these two countries and there are ~7 billion people on Earth, how many total hectares would be needed

Total hectares needed = 13.3 billion hectares of ecological footprint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Country X's per capita ecological footprint = 3.2 hectares

Country Y's per capita ecological footprint = 0.6 hectares

Earth's population = 7 billion

Average footprint between the two nations = 1.9 (3.2 + 0.6) hectares

If everybody in the world (i.e. the earth's population) has an ecological footprint the size of the average footprint between these two countries, i.e. = 1.9 per capita of earth's population,

Therefore, the total hectares of ecological footprint needed will be equal to 7 billion x 1.9

= 13.3 billion hectares of ecological footprint.

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions
