This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.
So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.
There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.
it’s basically just any number that can be multiplied with another to get a new expression
If you would like to calculate 71/5 - 62/5, you can do this using the following steps:
71/5 - 62/5 = (71 - 62) / 5 = 9/5 = 1 4/5
The correct result would be 1 4/5.
-5/2x + b = y
