Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is exponential, of the form
where a is the initial amount and b is the growth/decay rate. If Ginny begins the study with 1200 frogs in the population, our a value is 1200.
If the population is decreasing 3% per year, it is decreasing 100% - 3% = 97% which, as a decimal, is .97. Our exponential function, then, is
st + 3t = 6 for s
Subtract 3t to both sides
st + 3t - 3t = 6 - 3t
Simplify
st = 6 - 3t
Divide both sides by t
st/t = (6-3t)/3
simplify
s = 6/3 - 3t/3
s = 2 - t

</span>3x + y = 9 (I)
3*(1) + y = 9
3 + y = 9
y = 9 - 3
