Answer:
(10/3, 2/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
You may find it easier to write these two equations x+y=4 2x-y=6 in a column:
x+y=4
2x-y=6
Adding these together will eliminate y:
3x = 10. Then x = 10/3.
Substituting 10/3 for x in the first equation results in:
10/3 + y = 4
Clear fractions by multiplying all three terms by 3:
10 + 3y = 12
Then 3y = 2, and y = 2/3.
The solution is (10/3, 2/3)

Answer:
7.92 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find t such that ...
3 = 2^(t/5)
where 2^(t/5) is the annual multiplier when doubling time is 5 years.
Taking logs, we have ...
log(3) = (t/5)log(2)
t = 5·log(3)/log(2) ≈ 7.92 . . . years
It will take about 7.92 years for the population to triple.
