First you subtract 47 from both sides (-47 from 47 and -47 from 32)
Then you get -3x = -15
Divide -3 from -3x and -3 from -15 
Leaving you with X = 5
        
             
        
        
        
We have been given that a huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 45 square kilo-meters. The relationship between A, the area of the glacier in square kilo-meters, and t, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the equation  .
. 
To find the time it will take for the area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters, we will equate  and solve for t as:
 and solve for t as:



Now we will switch sides:

Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.

Using natural log property  , we will get:
, we will get:










Therefore, it will take  years for area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters.
 years for area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters.
 
        
             
        
        
        
44.
The closer it gets to -19, the closer the number goes to 44. It never hits it exactly though, but based off the trend (43.95, 43.995, 43.9995) we can tell that it gets closer to 44 each time.
Hope this helps! (:
        
             
        
        
        
First we are going to start by subtracting 3-10 and that gives us 7 so then you divide 7 by 4”3 and you get 2.3
