Answer:

  10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and s represent the populations of Canyon Falls and Swift Creek, respectively. For time t in years, the respective populations are ...

  c = 22500 -740t

  s = 15200 +1500t

We want to find t when s = 2c.

  s = 2c

  15200 +1500t = 2(22500 -740t)

  2980t = 29800 . . . . . add 1480-15200, simplify

  29800/2980 = t = 10 . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

The population of Swift Creek will be double that of Canyon Falls in 10 years.

Four friends ordered a pizza cut into eight slices. The whole pizza was eaten, with each friend eating a different number of sli
raketka [301]

Answer:

{0,1,3,4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, total no of slices=8.

Total no of friends=4.

also each friend didnt ate more than the other three.

let a,b,c,d be no of slices ate by the friends 1,2,3,4 respectively.

given sum of a+b+c+d=8.

now applying the second condition

a\leq b+c+d \\b\leq c+d+a\\c\leq a+b+d\\d\leq a+b+c

so each of a,b,c,d must be less than or equal to 4.

which means 5 values are possible{0,1,2,3,4}.from this set you have to select 4 values such that their sum is 8.hence, those values are {0,1,3,4}.
