Answer:

10 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

Each bow is 0.5 yards and you have 5 yards of ribbon. In equation form (where x = number of bows), that looks like: 0.5 * x = 5. Solve for x and you'll get x = 10.

Answer: After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sharon is conducting research on two species of birds at a bird sanctuary.

The number of birds of species A is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.

$S=2^x+12$

The number of birds of species B is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.

$S=15x+35$

To plot the above function, first find points by which they are passing.

For species A, At x=0 , $S=1+12=13$

At x=2 , $S=2+12=14$

Similarly find more points and plot curve on graph.

For species A, At x=0 , $S=0+35=35$

At x=2 , $S=15+35=50$

Plot a line with the help of these two points.

Now, from the graph the intersection of curve (for A) and line (for B) is at (7,140) which tells that After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.
