Answer:

solve for x

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x2-20x-17=-53

reorder like terms x2= 2x       2x=20x-17=-53

collect like terms 2x-20x=-18x           -18x-17=-53

move constant to the right hand side and change its sign   -18x=-53+17

calculate the sum -53+17= -36         -18x=-36

divide both sides by -18  -18x÷-18= x        -36÷-18=2

x=2

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The 500 mice would be the carrying capacity of the field being studied.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first year of study, the mouse population demonstrates exponential growth.

But by third year, the mouse population has stabilized at approximately 500 mice.

Thus, this 500 mice would be the carrying capacity of the field being studied.

Carrying capacity is defined as the measure to demonstrate the maximum population size that any given environment can sustain for an unspecified time period.
