Is the equation suppose to be f(x)=x^2 and g(x)= x+5^2-9? the triangle thing means to the power of
Let x be the common factor between chickens and ducks. Then:
6x/(5x-63)=3/1
15x-189=6x
9x=189
x=21
6x=123 chickens were on the farm

The initial value is 3. The common ratio is -9/3 = -3. The general formula is
.. an = a1*r^(n-1)
So, for your values, ...
.. an = 3*(-3)^(n -1)
For problems like this we can use algebra to help us, the farenheight 6 hours ago was:
(2xt)-6=-20
We have to balance the sides out, first we minus 6
2xt=-26
Now we can divide by 2
t=-13
We now know the temperature 6 hours ago was -13
