Answer:
d = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3d – 4 + d = 8d – (-12)
3d - 4 + d = 8d + 12
4d - 4 = 8d + 12
(4d - 4d) - 4 = (8d - 4d) + 12
-4 = 4d + 12
-4 - 12 = 4d (+ 12 - 12)
-16 = 4d
-16/4 = 4d/4
d = -4
The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay
<h3>How to model the population</h3>
The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.
However, the following is a general guide to solve the question.
An exponential function is represented as:

Where:
- (a) represent the initial value i.e. the initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas
- (r) represents the rate at which the population increases or decreases.
- (x) represents the number of years since 2022
- (y) represents the population in x years
Given that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases, then the rate of the function would be 1 -r (i.e. an exponential decay)
Take for instance:

By comparison.
a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98
The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas
