Answer:
7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
divide each term by 3 and simplify
3x - 5y = 27
-3x -12y = 24
-17y = 51
/-17 /-17
y = 3
x + 4(3) = -8
x + 12 = -8
-12 -12
x = -20
(-20, 3)
Double every year
year one
4 times 2
year 2
4 times 2 times 2 aka 4 times 2^2
year 3
4 times 2 times 2 times 2 aka 4 times 2^3
obviously
at year 'n' the number of rabbits will be
4 times 2^n
