Answer:
<u>y+5 =-3</u>
x-1
y+5=-3x +3
y=-3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The functions are:

and

.
After 2 weeks, under no risk of spiders, the population of the flies is calculated by the function as

.
Similarly, we calculate s(2)=2(2)+5=4+5=9, which means that the spider consumes 9 flies in 2 weeks.
Thus, out of 32 flies, 9 are eaten by the spider, so there are 32-9=23 flies left.
Answer: 23
Step-by-step explanation:
(7+9)/(-5-5)= 16/-10= -8/5
y + 9 = -8/5(x - 5)
y + 9 = -8/5x + 8
y = -8/5x - 1
Answer:
Read explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Use elimination
Add them all up
y = 1 ( everything else cancels )
-2x + 2(1) + z = 14
3x - 2(1) + z = -5
-x +(1) - 2z = -8
simplify
-2x + z = 12
3x + z = -3
-x -2z = -9
U can't use elimation because it would turn into 0 = 0
change last equation
x + 2z = 9
x = -2z + 9
plug that in
-2(-2z+9) + z = 12
3(-2z+9) + z = -3
-(-2z+9) - 2z = -9
4z - 18 = 12
-6z + 27 + z =-3
2z - 9 - 2z = -9
simplify
4z = 30
-5z = -30
0 = 0
z = 6
y = 1
x = -3
