Answer:

x=larger no

y= smaller no

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=7--------(1)

x=16 + 2y------(2)

(2)--->(1)

16+2y+y = 7

3y + 16 = 7

3y = -9

y = -3//

so x=10

Give a example of two fractions with the quotient of 5/12

olasank [31]

Poorly phrased question, but the general answer is 5k/(12k), where k ∈ Z (i.e. k is an integer).

So, 5/12 and 10/24.

There are 250 wolves in a national park. the wolf population is increasing at a rate of 16% per year. write an exponential model

$\qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth} \\\\ A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &250\\ r=rate\to 16\%\to \frac{16}{100}\dotfill &0.16\\ t=\textit{elapsed time} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=250(1 + 0.16)^{t}\implies A=250(1.16)^t \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill &1000\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &250\\ r=rate\to 16\%\to \frac{16}{100}\dotfill &0.16\\ t=\textit{elapsed time} \end{cases} \\\\\\ 1000=250(1.16)^t\implies \cfrac{1000}{250}=1.16^t\implies 4=1.16^t \\\\\\ \log(4)=\log(1.16^t)\implies \log(4)=t\log(1.16) \\\\\\ \cfrac{\log(4)}{\log(1.16)}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{about 9 years and 4 months}}{9.34\approx t}$
