Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where
y ----> represent the pool’s loss of water
x ----> the number of days
a is the initial value
a=25,700 gal
b ----> is the base
r=15%=15/100=0.15
b=(1-r)=1-0.15=0.85
The function is equal to

9.23 is less than 9.32 because .32 is more than .23
The answer would be (2,-2)
Answer:
(2, 7) is the correct ordered pair.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 3y = 31
2x + 3y = 25 Subtract to eliminate the y variable:
3x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 2.
Substitute x = 2 in the first equation:
5*2 + 3y = 31
3y = 31-10 = 21
y = 21/3
y = 7.
Check the result by substituting for x and y in the second equation:
2(2) + 3(7) = 25
4 + 21 = 25
25 = 25.
8 2/3
because 6 1/2 divided by 3/4 is 8 2/3
