Answer:

the sum of two numbers is 27. their difference is 5. find the number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number and y be the second number ... so we have

x + y = 27

x - y = 5 Adding the equations, we have

2x = 32 Dividing through by 2, we have

x = 16 And substituting or x in the first equation, we have

16 + y = 27 Subtract 16 from both sides

y = 11

A pond has 150 fish and the population decreases by 8% each day. How many days before there are 30 fish

nlexa [21]

Answer:

19 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 150$ --- initial

$r = 8\%$ -- rate

Required

Days when the fish gets to 30

The function is exponential and as such it follows;

$y = ab^x$

Where x represents the number of days and y the number of fishes

Because the fishes decreases;

$b = 1 - r$

So, we have:

$b = 1 - 8\%$

Express as decimal

$b = 1 - 0.08$

$b = 0.92$

In $y = ab^x$

$a =150$

$y = 30$

$b = 0.92$

So, we have:

$30 = 150 * 0.92^x$

Divide both sides by 150

$0.2 = 0.92^x$

Take log of both sides

$log(0.2) = log(0.92^x)$

Apply law of logarithm

$log(0.2) = x\ log(0.92)$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{log(0.2)}{log(0.92)}$

$x = \frac{-0.6990}{-0.0362}$

$x = 19.309$

$x \approx 19$

Hence, it takes approximately 19 days

Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walk

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walks and then a certain dollar amount for each additional mile he walks. Based on this pledge, if Aaron walks 8 miles, the sponsor will donate a total of $23 to the charity.

Write a formula that can be used to determine the amount of money this sponsor donates when Aaron walks n miles.

total amount sponsor pays = base donations + (additional miles walked after first mile x amount paid)

when Aaron walks 8 miles

additional miles = 8 - 1 = 7

23 = 2 + 7x

23 - 2 = 7x

x = 3

additional amount paid is $3

total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)
