Let's solve this by substitution.
y is given by the 2nd eqn as y = (1/3)x + 7. Subst. (1/3)x + 7 into the first eqn as a replacement for y: x + 9( (1/3)x + 7) = 3.
clear out fractions by mult. all 3 terms by 3: 3x + 9x + 63 = 3
Combine like terms: 12x = -60. Then x = -5
Find y by subst. -5 for x in the 2nd equation: y = (1/3)(-5) + 7
= -5/3 + 35/3 = 30/3 = 10.
Thus, the solution (x,y) of this system is (-5,10).
Answer:
There were 10 flies originally
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;
V = I(1+r)^d
where V is the number of flies on a particular day
I is the initial number of flies
r is the constant increase in percentage
and d is the number of days.
So we have for the second day;
60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)
For the fourth day, we have;
360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)
divide equation ii by i; we have;
360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2
6 = (1+r)^2
(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2
1 + r = √6
r = √6 - 1
So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies
Let’s use equation 1
60 = I(1 + r)^2
60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2
60 = I(√6)^2
60 = 6I
I = 60/6
I = 10 flies
Answer:
a) ( j + m ) / 7

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1 over 12 or 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 6 side on a dice. rolling a five is a 1 out of 6 chance and an even number is a 3 out of six chance. multiply them together to get 3 out of 36 simplify to get 1 out of 12
