Slimination
multiply first equaiton by 2
2x+6y=10
add to second equiaotn
2x-2x+6y-6y=10-10
0=0
this is true so therfor they are the same equaiton

so solve
x+3y=5
3y=-x+5
y=-1/3x+5/3

subsituter values for x and get valuse for y

if x=2 then y=1

A population of mice is increasing exponentially. On Monday there were 120 most. One month later there were 132 most. Ready func

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$y=120 * 1.1^x$ --- function

The monthly rate is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$x \to months$

$y \to mice$

So, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ --- Monday

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

$y=ab^x$

In $(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ , we have:

$120 = a * b^0$

$120 = a * 1$

$120 = a$

$a=120$

In $(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ , we have:

$132 = a * b^1$

$132 = a * b$

Substitute: $a=120$

$132 = 120 * b$

Solve for b

$b = \frac{132}{120}$

$b = 1.1$

So, the function is:

$y=ab^x$

$y=120 * 1.1^x$

To calculate the monthly rate (r), we have:

$y =a(1 + r)^x$

Compare to: $y =ab^x$

$1 + r = b$

Make r the subject

$r = b-1$

Substitute $b = 1.1$

$r = 1.1-1$

$r = 0.1$

Express as percentage

$r = 0.1*100\%$

$r = 10\%$

Multiply (x-3)(4x+2) using the distributive property.

asambeis [7]

$\text{The distributive property:}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x-3)(4x+2)=(x)(4x)+(x)(2)-(3)(4x)-(3)(2)\\\\=4x^2+2x-12x-6=4x^2-10x-6$
