1) 2x-1 or x=1/2
2) 5a-16 or a=16/5
Answer:
The coordinates of the other end is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required
Find the coordinates of the other end
Let Midpoint be represented by (x,y);
(x,y) = (5,2) is calculated as thus

So
and 
Where
and 
So, we're solving for 
Solving for 
Substitute 5 for x and -6 for x₁

Multiply both sides by 2


Add 6 to both sides


Solving for 

Substitute 2 for y and 2 for y₁

Multiply both sides by 2


Subtract 2 from both sides



Hence, the coordinates of the other end is 
1 hiker left the trail while 1 is still on it, so theres 1 hiker on the trail.
Answer: 5+d
Step-by-step explanation:
More means adding and it doesn't matter which order you put it in in adding.
This problem can be solve by graphing (technology), as suggested.
The answer is posted as an attached image. We see that after about 14.75 years, the invading species will surpass the indigenous population.
If it needs to be solved mathematically and accurately, the math is a little more advanced, using the bisection method, or Newton's method.
However, we can also do that by trial and error, starting from 14.75. It is easier than you might think.
Post if you would like to have more information on one or the other methods.
Note: the scale of y has been shrunk by 1000, so each unit on the y-axis represents 1000 frogs.
