Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
on the first equation there are two Xs
The number of ants in his farm after 12 weeks is 218.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
It is given that there are 15 ants initially and the ant population increases by 25% each week.
This is an exponential rate of increase that can be modeled by the following equation:
Number of ants after n weeks = Initial number of ants * 
Step 2:
Rate of increase = 25% = 25 / 100 = 0.25
Number of weeks = 12
Number of ants after 12 weeks = 15*
= 218.27 (rounded off to 218)
Step 3:
Answer:
The number of ants in his farm after 12 weeks is 218.
38(m - 29) = 434...distribute thru the parenthesis
38m - 1102 = 434...add 1102 to both sides
38m = 434 + 1102
38m = 1536....divide both sides by 38
m = 1536/38
m = 768/19 or 40 8/19
Answer:
Number of children, x= 400
Number of adults, y = 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of children be x
Let the number of adults be y
Given : Total number of people, x + y = 500 --------(1)
Total amount collected, 5x + 10y = 3000 ---------(2)
(1) => y = 500 - x
Substitute y in (2) : 5x + 10(500 - x) = 3000
5x + 5000 - 10x = 3000
-5x = 3000 - 5000
-5x = -2000
x = 400
Substitute x in (1) : 400 + y = 500
y = 500 - 400
y = 100
