Realize that since 2x and 3x - 1 are equal to each other, they are also equal to y. This means that we can craft two equations, y = 2x and y = 3x - 1.
When you want to solve a systems of equations via a graph, you need to plot both equations on a graph and determine the x- and y-value of where the lines intersect. In this case, we would plot both y = 2x and y = 3x - 1. These lines intersect at the point (1, 2).
Since we are trying to find the day the bullfrog will be able to eat the entire population, or x, we are going to use the x-value of our point as our answer. Thus, our answer is 1 day.
<h3>Answer: y = (3/2)x + 0</h3>
This is the same as y = (3/2)x
=============================================================
Work Shown:
Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (-2,-3) and (x2,y2) = (2,3)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3 - (-3))/(2 - (-2))
m = (3 + 3)/(2 + 2)
m = 6/4
m = 3/2
The slope is the fraction 3/2. This is going to be in front of the x, or to the left of the x.
----------
Plug m = 3/2 and (x1,y1) = (-2,-3) into the point slope formula. Solve for y.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-3) = (3/2)(x - (-2))
y + 3 = (3/2)(x + 2)
y + 3 = (3/2)x + (3/2)(2)
y + 3 = (3/2)*x + 3
y + 3 - 3 = (3/2)*x + 3 - 3
y = (3/2)x + 0
The y intercept is zero. This matches up with the fact the graph crosses the y axis at y = 0.

Answer:
equation: 10 + 0.05x=22
Step-by-step explanation:
the next step after writing the equation would be to subtract 10 from both sides to get 0.05x=12. after this you would then have to divide 12 by 0.05 to get 240 minutes. you could check it by putting 240 in for x to get 10+0.05(240)=22. you would then multiply 0.05 by 240 to get 12 and then add 10 onto it to get 22 which was already given.
