Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

b = 2/3


a = 7/3
b)

Cross multiply,
2b + 1 = a*(3b - 1)
2b + 1 = a*3b - 3*a
2b + 1 = 3ab- 3a
2b = 3ab - 3a - 1
2b - 3ab = -3a - 1
b(2 - 3a) = -3a - 1

Step 1:
Set Variables (We will use x & y)
x = years
y = total orangutan population
Step 2:
Set up Equations
784 - 25x = y
817 - 36x = y
Step 3:
Set equations equal to each other & solve
784 - 25x = 817 - 36x
784 = 817 - 11x
-33 = -11x
3 years = x
adding 320,294,265 and 301=1180
4 divided by 1180=answer 295
