Have you learned matrices yet? I'm going to use that to solve these, please refer to the photos.
I solved the system by using a matrix calculation. The work always needs to be shown and you do that by setting up the matrix like in the first photo and also writing out all your equations. In a TI calculator, to do this you press 2ND-X^-1,GO TO EDIT - [A] - 3×4- now enter the coefficient of the system of equations variables. NOW 2ND MODE- 2ND-X^-1 -GO TO MATH- ALPHA APPS
Now, if you don't know this you may be confuse so after rref([A]) was enter a matrix came up with [1 0 0 -21] in the top row this means x equal -21. So, the next row is y and it came out as [0 1 0 46] so y equals 46 and I'm going to let you figure out what z is by looking at the matrix.
SO... X=-21 Y=46 and Z=-10

The population of the town in 36 years would be 8000.
<h3>What would be the population of the town in 36 years?</h3>
The formula that can be used to determine the town's population is:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
Where:
- FV = Future value
- P = Present value
- R = rate of growth = 100%
- N = number of years = 36/9 = 4
500 x 2^4 = 8000

Gabby's recipe calls for 3 1/3 pounds of flour. If you divide 3 1/3 by 1/6, you get 5 measuring cups full. (1/3 is 2/6 so you add 2+3)
Multiply the sale price by the commission rate:
550,000 x 0.06 = 33,000
