Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
-We can use the exponential decay function to estimate the size after 13 years:

Where:
is the size after t years, t is the time, r is the rate of decay and
the original size.
#We substitute and calculate as:

Hence, the forest covers
after 13 years.

x-3 and x+5 we can't do anything with so next
5(x-3)=5x-15
2(x+5)=2x+10
5x-15+2=5x-13
(2x+10-9)=2x+1
(5x-13)-3(2x+1)
-3(2x+1)=-6x-3
5x-13-6x-3=-x-16
4(-x-16)=-4x-64
the answer is -4x-64
