Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can directly substitute y of the first equation to the second equation.
-2x - 1 = 3x - 16
5x = 15
x = 3
Substituting back to any of the two equations, we get y = -2(3)-1 = -7. If you check with the second equation, y = 3(3)-16 = -7 as well.
Therefore

15/20 = 75/100 (you just have to multiply both top and bottom by five)
Hello,
Please, see the detailed solution in the attached files.
Thanks.
Answer:
13.5
Explanation:
The equation to find the slope (another word for the rate of change) of the line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) when the given points are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
When we plug in the given points, (3,-7) and (5,20) we can start solving.
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(20-(-7))/(5-3)
Two negatives make a positive
= (20+7)/(5-3)
= 27/2
= 13.5
I hope this helps!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-- Initial population
--- Rate
Required
Determine the population in 8 years
The question shows an exponential distribution and the final population will be calculated using:

Where x is the number of years.
So, we have:

Convert % to decimal
