Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of ants in his farm after 12 weeks is 218.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
It is given that there are 15 ants initially and the ant population increases by 25% each week.
This is an exponential rate of increase that can be modeled by the following equation:
Number of ants after n weeks = Initial number of ants * 
Step 2:
Rate of increase = 25% = 25 / 100 = 0.25
Number of weeks = 12
Number of ants after 12 weeks = 15*
= 218.27 (rounded off to 218)
Step 3:
Answer:
The number of ants in his farm after 12 weeks is 218.

Answer:
4.3
Step-by-step explanation:
what you wanna do is add the 1.5 and the -2.8 together, then devide it by 0.4 four, and thats what X equals.
So?
-756*x +x =1 ?
-755 x = 1
x= -1/755
or
what two numbers when multiplied equal -756 but when added together equal 1?
numbers are x and y
x*y= -756
x+y=1
rearrange the 2nd eq
y=1-x
substitute
x(1-x)=-756
distribute
x-x^2=-756
solve for zero
x^2-x-756=0
factor/quadratic equation
