Step 1:
Set Variables (We will use x & y)
x = years
y = total orangutan population
Step 2:
Set up Equations
784 - 25x = y
817 - 36x = y
Step 3:
Set equations equal to each other & solve
784 - 25x = 817 - 36x
784 = 817 - 11x
-33 = -11x
3 years = x
The answer would be one of the following in the photo below....if not do you have a picture you could show me of the possible answers?
There are 6, you'd think there would be 8 but the answer is actually 6. A diagonal is a line segment that connects to vertices, the two vertices chosen do not count when forming the triangle, two vertices that are adjacent to that chosen vertex are NOT included when forming the diagonal. It's confusing, but I hope this helps. If you have any follow up questions I'd love to answer them.
12/16
If you divide 12 by 4 you get 3 and if you divide 16 by 4 you get 4 so that would be 3/4
2.25 + 8.50x = 50
8.50x = 50 - 2.25
8.50x = 47.75
——— ———
8.50. 8.50
x = 5.6 hours
Hope that helps :)
