Answer:
There are 1766 chipmunks in the population
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of individuals increasing per year = 265
Rate of increase = 0.15
Rate of increase = increase in number of individuals in a given population /total population
Substituting the given values, we get -
0.15 = (265/total population)
Total population = 265/0.15 = 1766
6x-1 because you combine like terms 4x+2x=6x and then -4+3=-1
For this case what you should do is the following system of equations:
x: skilled laborers
y: unskilled laborers
By writing the system we have:
x + y = 24
25x + 12y = 405
Solving the system:
Step 1:
-25x + -25y = -600
25x + 12y = 405
Step 2:
-13y = -195
y = 195/13
y = 15
step 3:
x = 24-y
x = 24-15
x = 9
Answer:
skilled laborers = 9
unskilled laborers = 15
Cross multiplication 13x -13 = 8x+12
combining like terms 13x -8x =12 +13
5x= 25 x= 5
x=5
