Two researchers are studying the decline of orangutan populations. In one study, a population of 784 orangutans is expected to d

ecrease at a rate of 25 orangutans per year. In a second study, the population of a group of 817 orangutans is expected to decrease at a rate of 36 per year. After how many years will the two populations be the same?

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

Answer:

The answer is 3 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the years be denoted by 't' ,when both populations will be same.

1st study says a population of 784 orangutans is expected to decrease at a rate of 25 orangutans per year.

Equation becomes:

y=784-25t

In a second study, the population of a group of 817 orangutans is expected to decrease at a rate of 36 per year.

Equation becomes:

y=817-36t

Now to solve for 't' we will equal both the equations.

784-25t=817-36t

36t-25t=817-784

11t=33

So, t = 3 years.

So, the answer is 3 years.

Answer:

It would be C  , 7 root 2

Step-by-step explanation:

you would have to find the Sin of 45. So you set up a proportion ( you can do this on a calculator)

sin 45=7/x and then calculate that and solve.

If you dont have a calc then the sin of 45 is 1/root2
