M represents miles
35+0.10m=25+0.15m
35-25+0.10m=25-25+0.15m
10+0.10m=0.15m
10+0.10m-0.10m=0.15m-0.10m
10=0.05m
m=200
Check:
35+0.10(200)=25+0.15(200)
35+20=25+30
55=55
The solution: m=200 is true.
After 200 miles driven, prices charged by both companies will be the same.

I need help with this question
Murrr4er [49]

The number of cows is given by

14\cdot 2^{\frac{y}{5}}

So, after k years, the number of cows will be

14\cdot 2^{\frac{y+k}{5}}

We want this number to be twice as much as the original:

14\cdot 2^{\frac{y+k}{5}} = 2(14\cdot 2^{\frac{y}{5}})

First of all, we can cancel 14 from both sides:

2^{\frac{y+k}{5}} = 2\cdot 2^{\frac{y}{5}}

Finally, on the right hand side, we can use the exponent rule

a^b\cdot a^c=a^{b+c}

to get

2^{\frac{y+k}{5}} = 2^{\frac{y}{5}+1}

To solve this equation, we must impose that the two exponents are the same:

\dfrac{y+k}{5} = \dfrac{y}{5}+1 \iff \dfrac{y+k}{5} = \dfrac{y+5}{5}

And clearly this is true if and only if k=5. So, it will take 5 years for the cow heard to double in number.

You can do the exact same steps to find the doubling time for the sheeps.
