C. (2,3) The solution to the system of equations is where the two lines will intersect. looking at the graph that point is closest to C. (2,3)
<h2>Solving Equations</h2>
To solve linear equations, we must perform inverse operations on both sides of the equal sign to <em>cancel values out</em>.
- If something is being added to x, subtract it from both sides.
- If something is being subtracted from x, add it on both sides.
- Same with multiplication and division. If x is being divided, multiply. If x is being multiplied, divide.
We perform inverse operations to<em> combine like terms</em>. This means to get x to one side and everything else on the other.
<h2>Solving the Questions</h2><h3>Question 1</h3>

Because 7 is being added to x, subtract it from both sides:

Because x is being multiplied by 5, divide both sides by 5:

Therefore.
.
<h3>Question 2</h3>

Here, we can group all the x values on the left side of the equation. Subtract 5x from both sides:

To isolate x, subtract 4 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

Therefore,
.
Step-by-step explanation:
uhm sorry its to blurd!! i will answer some other question
The initial population was 234.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
<u>Formula for the exponential growth</u> is:
, where P is the initial amount, A is the final amount, r is the rate of growth and t is the time duration.
There was 337 bacteria after 5 minutes and 699 bacteria after 15 minutes. So, the equations will be......

Now dividing equation (2) by equation (1) , we will get .......

<u>Taking 'natural log'</u> on both sides.........

Now, plugging this
into equation (1), we will get......

So, the initial population was 234.
