Step 1:
Set Variables (We will use x & y)
x = years
y = total orangutan population
Step 2:
Set up Equations
784 - 25x = y
817 - 36x = y
Step 3:
Set equations equal to each other & solve
784 - 25x = 817 - 36x
784 = 817 - 11x
-33 = -11x
3 years = x
the second one.

Answer:1 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
agree with both because 1 dollar = 4 muffins so 2 x 4 = 8 muffins and 4x4 = 16 muffins
Answer:
x = 5, y = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5x - 5y = 20
3x + 4y = 13 multiply by 1.25 so the y's match up (you could match x's too)
3.75x + 5y = 16.25
–––––––––––––––––––––––
3.5x - 5y = 20
3.75x +5y = 16.25
7.25x + 0y = 36.25 you can add or subtract here (on this equation you add)
7.25x=36.25
x=5 So now we have x=5 and to find y we can just plug in x into one of the equations
–––––––––––––––––––
3(5) + 4y = 13
15 + 4y = 13
4y = -2
y = -1/2
x = 5, y = -1/2
Then you can plug in both to check your answers.
