Let x = number of years between 1990 and 2000.
Rainbow smelt:
Initial population = 227
Average yearly rate of change = -19.76
The linear function that models the population is
y₁ = 227 - 19.76x
Bloater fish
Initial population = 1052
Average yearly rate of change = -92.57
The linear function that models the population is
y₂ = 1052 - 92.57x
When the two populations are equal, then y₁ = y₂.
That is
227 - 19.76x = 1052 - 92.57x
(92.57 - 19.76)x = 1052 - 227
72.81x = 825
x = 11.33 years
= 11 years, 0.33*12 months
= 11 years, 4 months
Add x to 1990 to obtain the year April 2011.
Answer:
x = 11.33 years.
This occurs in April 2001.
Answer:
none because they all correlate with each other and there are no obvious anomalies

Answer:
12 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape of the top of the desk is a trapezoid.
A = (b1 + b2)h/2
A = (5 ft + 3 ft)(3 ft)/2
A = (8 ft)(3 ft)/2
A = 24 ft^2/2
A = 12 ft^2
Answer: 12 square feet
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 and so on.......</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is option A. Erica is correct in saying that the two lines are not necessarily the same and we should also look at the y-intercepts before determining how many solutions there were. <span>Two lines with equal slopes could be the same line, but only if they have the same y-intercept.</span>
