Answer:
x = {-2, 2/3}
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = -4
x = -2
3x = 2
x = 2/3
x = {-2, 2/3}

They packed the bagels in packs of six.
The estimate for the total population size is 1600.
Setting up a proportion for this, we know that 150 out of our 300 turtle sample is marked; this is the first ratio for the proportion. We also know that we marked 800 of our total population, which we will call x:
150/300 = 800/x
Cross multiply:
150*x = 300*800
150x = 240000
Divide both sides by 150:
150x/150 = 240000/150
x = 1600
×= 10 and ×= -14
Find x by simplifying both sides of the equation then isolate the variable.
