Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
9x-14=2(3x+11)
9x-14=6x+22
9x-6x=22+14
3x=36
x=36/3=12
X=0.85 and -5.85 is the answer, that's all of the work
Answer:
1.6 times or 60% more than
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seems to be asking about the growth factor in the given exponential function.
<h3>Exponential function</h3>
A generic exponential function will have the form ...
quantity = (initial value) × (growth factor)^(number of intervals)
Comparing this form to the given formula ...
f(x) = 58 × 1.6^x
we see the "growth factor" is 1.6. This is the multiplier from one interval (year) to the next.
Each year the expected number of birds is <u><em>1.6 times</em></u> the number the year before.

Additional comment
A <em>growth factor</em> is sometimes expressed in terms of a <em>growth rate</em>, usually a percentage.
growth factor = 1 + growth rate
1.6 = 1 + 0.60 = 1 + 60%
The growth rate of this bird population is 60% per year. Each year, the population is <u>60% more than</u> the year before.
