This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.
So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.
There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.
This question is essentially asking you to find the surface area of the box.
The formula for SA on a rectangular prism is: 2(L*W+L*H+W*H)
L=Length W=Width H=Height
Lets input the information we know:
2(20*8+20*30+8*30)
Follow BEDMAS
2(160+600+240)
2(760+240)
2(1000)
2*1000
=2000
The box will need 2000 centimeters squared of material.
Hope this helps!

The answer will be d i believe
Let shirts be x and ties be y
3x+5y=$60 Equation 1 (Equation 1 will be denoted by *)
2x+3y=$39 Equation 2 (Equation 2 will be denoted by !)
*x2 6x + 10y = $120
!x3 6x + 9y = $117
*-! y = 120-117 =3
Ties are $3 each
Substitute this value back into one of the original 2 equations:
3x+5y=$60
3x+(5x3) = 60
3x+15=60
3x=45
x=15
Shirts are $15
