I think its he didnt eliminate the same variables
So because the factors of the equation are (x-2), (x+3) and (x-3), you set them equal to zero and you get x=2, -3, and 3
Answer:
(a) 100 fishes
(b) t = 10: 483 fishes
t = 20: 999 fishes
t = 30: 1168 fishes
(c)

Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Solving (a): Fishes at t = 0
This gives:






Solving (a): Fishes at t = 10, 20, 30






Solving (c): 
In (b) above.
Notice that as t increases from 10 to 20 to 30, the values of
decreases
This implies that:

So:
The value of P(t) for large values is:




Allison ran 3/8 km (0.375 km) in 3 minutes.
Set up a proportion to find how long it takes for her to run 1 km

Cross multiply to get:

Solve:

x = 8 minutes
As an expression, it would be:
3 - 1/13w (or you could also do 1/13w - 3).
