A second basket has 6 spas--- I think you mean 6 soaps , so i will work with that

Answer:it is not possible to determine the price of the soap with the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s0ap be represented as x

and lotion be represented as y

2 soaps and 5 lotions costing  $20 gives us equation 1 as

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

second basket with 6 soaps and 15 lotions and costing $60 gives us equation 2 as

6x + 15y= 60------equation 2

Step 2 -- Solving

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

BY elimination method, we  multiply equation 1 by (3)

2x + 5y= 20  x (3)

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

Subtraction of equation 3 from equation 2 gives us

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

-6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

0x +0y=0  which is no solution

Therefore it is not possible to determine the price of the soap

The first time a census was taken in Esinville, the population was 12,621. Each year after that, the population was about 6% hig
Sedbober [7]
Step-by-step
Population was 12.621 when it was measured

Next year it rose by 6%, so add that 6% to 100% and multiply with population measured

12.621 × (100%+6%) = 12.621 × 106% = 13.379,24

Since a man cant be 0,24, we count that as +1

13.379,24 = 13.379 + 1 = 13.380

That was for a year after measurement, now let's calculate for another year
Now, add those 6% to a new population number

13.380 × (100%+6%) = 13.380 × 106% = 14.182,8

since 0,8 isn't a man, instead we add again +1

14.182,8 = 14.182 + 1 = 14.183

now let's do it for another year after last, by adding those 6% to a newest population number

14.183 × (100%+6%) = 14.183 × 106% = 15.033,98

round it again to +1, since 0.98 isn't a man

15.033,98 = 15.033 + 1 = 15.034

that is it, now graph is in the picture.
