Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Answer:
-46 is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
=4-2(3+2)^2
=4-2(5)^2
=4-2(5✖️5)
=4-2(25)
Opening brackets to simplify
=4-50
=-46 is your answer.

Answer:
1) The size of the colony after 4 days is 6553 mosquitoes
2) After 
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question you must use the growth formula
Where
is the initial population of mosquitoes = 1000
t is the time in days
k is the growth rate
N is the population according to the number of days
We know that when t = 1 and 
then N = 1600
Then we use these values to find k.
Now that we know k we can find the size of the colony after 4 days.
To know how long it should take for the population to reach 10,000 mosquitoes we must do N = 10000 and solve for t.
Answer:
(-5/3, -4/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
3 < 6c +13 < 5 . . . . given
-10 < 6c < -8 . . . . . subtract 13
-10/6 < c < -8/6 . . . divide by 6
We can express the interval using reduced fractions as ...
(-5/3, -4/3)
