you need to isolate y. first add 5 on both sides of the equation to isolate 2y. that will get you 15 + 5 = 2y, then add 15 and 5 to get 20. then solve for y, which gets you y = 10

A population of insects grows exponentially, as shown in the table. Suppose the increase in population continues at the same rat

Ivanshal [37]

We are told that a population of insects grows exponentially and we are given a table of data about insect population growth. We are asked to find population of insects at the end of week 11.

The initial insect population is 20 and at the end of 1st week population increases to 30.

Let us find growth percentage of insect population,

$\text{Growth percentage}=\frac{\text{Difference}}{Actual} \cdot100$

$\text{Growth percentage}=\frac{\text{30-20}}{20} \cdot100$

$\text{Growth percentage}=\frac{\text{10}}{20} \cdot100$

$\text{Growth percentage}=0.5 \cdot100=50$

We can see that insect population is growing at rate of 50% per week.

Now let us write an exponential function for our population.

$P(w)=20(1+0.50)^{w}$ , where P(w) represents population at the end of w weeks.

Let us substitute w=11 in our function to find insect population at the end of 11 weeks.

$P(11)=20(1+0.50)^{11}$

$P(11)=20(1.50)^{11}$

$P(11)=20\cdot 86.49755859375$

$P(11)=1729.951171875\approx 1730$

Therefore, population of insects at the end of 11th week will be 1730.

What's the distributive property when solving the equation 7(x+5)-x=42

Marysya12 [62]

When you are doing distributive property, it can only happen if a number or exponent is before the bracket. From this equation, you can solve for x like so:

7(x+5)-x=42

7x+35-x=42 -Using distributive property (Multiplication)

6x=7 -Collecting like terms.

x= 7/6 -The answer.

Therefore x would equate to 7/6.
