Answer:

m =-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the unknown variable, m, we have to get m by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation.

-8m-9=39

9 is being subtracted from-8m, so add 9 to both sides. Addition is the opposite of subtraction.

-8m-9+9=39+9

-8m=39+9

-8m=48

-8 and m are being multiplied. Divide both sides by -8, because division is the opposite of multiplication

-8m/-8=48/-8

m=48/-8

m= -6

In a field study, a scientist was predicting the insect population. The initial amount of insects in the area was 15,000. The sc

The estimated population, if the rate is a growth rate is 34696 populations

The estimated population, if the rate is a decline rate is 5657 populations

<h3> Exponential functions</h3>

The standard exponential equation is expressed as $y = ab^x$

where;

a is the intercept
b is the growth rate
x is the time taken

If the initial population is 15,000 with a rate of 15%, then;

a) If the rate is a growth rate, the estimated population will be expressed as;

$y = 15000(1+0.15)^{6}\\y=15000(1.15)^6\\y = 15000(2.313)\\y \approx 34,696$

The estimated population, if the rate is a decline rate is 34696 populations

b) If the rate is a decline rate, the estimated population will be expressed as;

$y = 15000(1-0.15)^{6}\\y=15000(0.85)^6\\y = 15000(0.37715)\\y \approx 5,657$

The estimated population, if the rate is a decline rate is 5657 populations

A cleaning company charges $3 per square foot and a flat fee of $100. Which of the equations below shows the cost y, in dollars,

LekaFEV [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= 3x + b

As, to know the total, which is y, we need to solve for the cost

So first for money per square foot = $3

For square foot = x

So, price for x square foot = $3x (here this is the value of m)

Now, for value b,

$100 is added to the cost as its the charge, as the flat fee

So the value of b = $100

So, y=3x+100

Y = 7x + 7<br> y = -7x + 19<br><br> Solve the system algebraically.

shtirl [24]

Hello,

To this question, It's only directly sum the equations:

y + y = 7x - 7x +7+19

2y = 0x + 26

2y = 26

y = 26 ÷ 2

y = 13

Now only to replace y = 13 in the equation of up or of down.

Then stay:

y = 7x + 7

13 = 7x + 7

7x = 13 -7

7x = 6

x = 6 / 7
