This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.
So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.
There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar the ratios of corresponding sides are equal
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
20(4x + 2) = 84x
80x + 40 = 84x ( subtract 80x from both sides )
40 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 10
