60 onces is 15lbs so then i beleve you have 11lbs too much
a) The linear function that models the population in t years after 2004 is: P(t) = -200t + 29600.
b) Using the function, the estimate for the population in 2020 is of 26,400.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The initial population in 2004, of 29600, is the y-intercept. In 12 years, the population decayed 2400, hence the slope is:
m = -2400/12 = -200.
Hence the equation is:
P(t) = -200t + 29600.
2020 is 16 years after 2004, hence the estimate is:
P(16) = -200(16) + 29600 = 26,400.

Answer:
what is the full question
The number of decorative pillows did the realtor arrange on each twin bed and queen bed is 6 and 9 respectively.
<h3>Simultaneous equation</h3>
let
- Number of decorative pillows for twin bed = x
- Number of decorative pillows for queen bed = y
x + y = 15
2x + y = 21
From equation (1)
x = 15 - y
- Substitute x = 15 - y into (2)
2x + y = 21
2(15 - y) + y = 21
30 - 2y + y = 21
- 2y + y = 21 - 30
-y = -9
y = 9
Substitute y = 9 into
x + y = 15
x + 9 = 15
x = 15 - 9
x = 6
