So we know if there are 5 groups/dozens of Monarch butterflies, there are 2 groups/dozens of Queen butterflies. In other words, there are 5 Monarch butterflies for every 2 Queen butterflies.
Then we can turn that into an equation.

From the last equation we wrote we can see that the total number of butterflies in the farm is

.
When we compare the Queen butterflies to total butterflies, we get

The ratio of Queen butterflies to total butterflies is 2:7.
Solution for part A is where the red line and the red line meet, (2,-1)
solution for part B: any point on the blue red line is a solution. (2, -1), (0, 3), (3, -3), (-2, 7)
solution for part C is where the green curve and the blue line meet, (0,3)
I believe that -15 is the answer
X = first venture, y = second venture, z = third venture
x + y + z = 15,000
x + z = y + 7000
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
these are ur equations.....
x + y + z = 15,000
x - y + z = 7000
--------------------add
2x + 2z = 22,000
x + y + z = 15,000....multiply by -2
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
-------------------
-2x - 2y - 2z = - 30,000 (result of multiplying by -2)
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
------------------add
x = 9,000
2x + 2z = 22,000
2(9000) + 2z = 22000
18,000 + 2z = 22000
2z = 22000 - 18000
2z = 4000
z = 4000/2
z = 2,000
x + y + z = 15,000
9000 + y + 2000 = 15,000
11,000 + y = 15,000
y = 15,000 - 11,000
y = 4,000
first venture (x) = 9,000 <==
second venture (y) = 4,000 <==
third venture (z) = 2,000 <==
