Heya! This can be represented as a geometric number pattern. This is a number pattern which has a constant multiplier (in this case it doubles so the multiplier/ratio is 2). I’ve outlined a general formula for geometric/exponential number patterns where a is the first term, r is the ratio, and n is the term number. In this case, n is the amount of months the rabbits have been doubling for. The answer will be the y equation, where x is a positive natural number (i.e 1,2,3 etc. because we don’t have half months)
Answer:
X = (J+M)/K
Step-by-step explanation:
Undo what has been done to the variable, in reverse order. The variable has been multiplied by K and M subtracted from the result. So, we first add M (to undo the subtraction), then we divide by K (to undo the multiplication).
KX = J +M . . . . . . M added to the given equation
X = (J + M)/K . . . . the result of that is then divided by K

Since these are all capital letters, we might assume they represent vectors and/or matrices. If so, the "divide by K" step needs to be "multiply on the left by K^-1, the matrix inverse of K."
Then your solution looks like
X = K⁻¹·(J + M)
Keep in mind both of these angles are equal to each other meaning the equation will have a = So...
4x+7=5(x-4)
Now multiply 5 to x and 4
4x+7=5x-20
Now subtract 4x from 5x
7=1x-20
Now add 20 to both sides
27=x
So x=27
