Answer:
x = 3, the error is that the -2x should be added.
Step-by-step explanation:
The -2x should be added to the left side.
3x - 7 = -2x + 8
3x + 2x = 8 + 7
5x = 15
x =3

The function:
f ( x ) = x * 0.965^t
where x is the initial amount and t is the number of the years
80 = x * 0.965^3
80 = x * 0.89632
x = 80 : 0.89632 ≈ 89
Answer:
The initial amount of animals was 89.
Hope this helps!
Have a nice day :)
What is the area of a circle with radius 7.5
The more painstaking way would be to divide the spinner up into 100 pieces, and shade in 5 of those pieces. Since 5/100 = 0.05 = 5% this means that landing on any of the 5 pieces has a 5% chance of happening.
A better way to do this is to use 20 slices instead. This works because 5/100 reduces to 1/20 (divide top and bottom by 5). Instead of shading in 5 slices, Mark should shade in 1. If you use a calculator, you should see that 1/20 = 0.05 = 5% as well.
The second option is more practical but even then a spinner with 20 sections is still a lot. I think it might be better for Mark to pull random numbers out of a hat, or let the computer generate random numbers.
