This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.
So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.
There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The points on the straight line are (P, 0) and (0, R).
The slope would be
And 
, because the y-intercept is at (0, R).
So, the equation of this line would be
Where we multiply the equation by 
Therefore, the equation that represents this line is
<h2>
So, the right answer is B.</h2>
Answer:
the second answer seems to be the most reassonable
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The first step is to replace the y in y-x=15 with 7x (we can do this because the first equation tells us that they're equal)
solve and get
(2.5,17.5)
or x= 2.5 y=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to recognize that y=7x which means that we can just replace the y in the second equation with 7x
7x-x=15
6x=15
x=2.5
Then we can solve for y
y=7(2.5)
y=17.5
Prob(spinning a number < 3on 1 spin) = Prob( spinning 1 or 2) = 2/5
Prob( spinning <3 3 times) = 2/5 * 2/5 * 2/5 = 8/125
These events are independent so we multiply the probabilities.
