Answer:
A) R = 1900 -24t
B) 1684 billion barrels
C) 79.17 years
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>A)</h3>
Reserves start at 1900 billion barrels and decrease by 24 billion barrels each year. The value for t=0 is 1900; the value for t=1 is 24 less.
R = 1900 -24t
__
<h3>B)</h3>
For t=9, the reserves will be ...
R = 1900 -24(9) = 1900 -216 = 1684 . . . . billion barrels
__
<h3>C)</h3>
The reserve will be 0 when ...
0 = 1900 -24t
24t = 1900 . . . . . add 24t
t ≈ 79.17 . . . . divide by 24
Reserves will be gone in about 79.17 years.
3/5 is greater because the decimal is .6 while 21/40 is .525

(Late answer!)
J + t = 30
j = 2t - 3
sub eq 2 into eq 1
2t - 3 + t = 30...combine like terms
3t - 3 = 30...add 3 to both sides
3t = 30 + 3
3t = 33...divide both sides by 3
t = 33/3
t = 11 <=== Tritt is 11
j = 2t - 3
j = 2(11) - 3
j = 22 - 3
j = 19 <== Jan is 19
