We begin with 1,000 fish in a lake.
Each year the population declines to 15%
Then they put back 500 fish in the lake.
The equation: (1000 * .85) +500
Answer:
$25
Step-by-step explanation:
.05x500=25
hope this helps
I'm not quite sure if this is what you need, but I am going to solve these equations by elimination. x= 8/17 and y = 11/17 (8/17, 11/17).
Factor the following:
10 y^2 - 35 y + 30
Factor 5 out of 10 y^2 - 35 y + 30:
5 (2 y^2 - 7 y + 6)
Factor the quadratic 2 y^2 - 7 y + 6.
The coefficient of y^2 is 2 and the constant term is 6.
The product of 2 and 6 is 12.
The factors of 12 which sum to -7 are -3 and -4. So 2 y^2 - 7 y + 6 = 2 y^2 - 4 y - 3 y + 6 = y (2 y - 3) - 2 (2 y - 3):
5 y (2 y - 3) - 2 (2 y - 3)
Factor 2 y - 3 from y (2 y - 3) - 2 (2 y - 3):
Answer: 5 (2 y - 3) (y - 2)
