Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+6) = 22
2x+12 = 22
2x = 10
x = 5
Answer:
its would prob be 100 / 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
≈ -5.1857
≈ -5.4857
≈ 3.7262
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the equation system as:



Now, write the system in its augmented matrix form:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}6&8&0&-75\\-3&6&6&5\\2&-9&0&39\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D6%268%260%26-75%5C%5C-3%266%266%265%5C%5C2%26-9%260%2639%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
applying row reduction process to its associated augmented matrix:
Swap R1 and R3, and then Swap R1 and R2:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-3&6&6&5\\2&-9&0&39\\6&8&0&-75\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D-3%266%266%265%5C%5C2%26-9%260%2639%5C%5C6%268%260%26-75%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
R3+2R1
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-3&6&6&5\\2&-9&0&39\\0&20&12&-65\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D-3%266%266%265%5C%5C2%26-9%260%2639%5C%5C0%2620%2612%26-65%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
3R2+2R1
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-3&6&6&5\\0&-15&12&127\\0&20&12&-65\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D-3%266%266%265%5C%5C0%26-15%2612%26127%5C%5C0%2620%2612%26-65%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
15R3+20R2
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-3&6&6&5\\0&-15&12&127\\0&0&420&1565\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D-3%266%266%265%5C%5C0%26-15%2612%26127%5C%5C0%260%26420%261565%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now we have a simplified system:


From (3):
(4)
Replacing (4) in (2)
(5)
Finally replacing (5) and (4) in (1)

The final population of the flies is equal to the growth rate minus the number of flies consumed by the spiders. That is,
final population = 6(3^x) - (4x + 1)
Substituting 2 to the x of the equation above,
final population = 6(3²) - (4(2) + 1) = 45
Thus, the final population of the flies would be 45.
