The average intake rate is (21,340 animals)/(52 weeks) ≈ 410.4 animals/week
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Substitute 
into first equation and solve for "x" in order to find the x-intercept of the first line:
2. Substitute 
into the first equation and solve for "y" in order to find the y-intercept of the first line:
Knowing that first line passes through the points 
and 
, you can graph it.
3. Substitute into second equation and solve for "x" in order to find the x-intercept:
4. Substitute into the second equation and solve for "y" in order to find the y-intercept of the second line:
Knowing that second line passes through the points 
and 
, you can graph it.
The solution of the system of equations is the point of intersection between the lines. Therefore, the solution of this system is:
We develop an equation for the given situation by first writing the general equation for lines,
y = mx + b
Substituting to this given the values given above,
(1990) 430 = b
(2000) 400 = m(10) + 430
The value of m from the equation in 2000 is -3. Thus, the equation of that relates the variables is,
y = -3x + 430
can you get a better picture of it so I can possibly find the answer.
Answer: Is -25/3 or -8.3 repeating.
