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
Ok so I’m not sure but here’s what I would do to solve it
There is only one x so
X+
5.1+3.2=8.3
So
X+8.3 is the answer
Hope that helps xx
Aloha~! My name is Zalgo and I am here to provide a bit more knowledge to you today. The following Improper Fractions have been changed into Mixed Numbers (and also into decimals because I like Math :3):
- 9/4 - 2.25 - 2 4/1
- 8/3 - 2.67 - 2 2/3
- 23/6 - 3.83 - 3 5/6
- 11/2 - 5.5 - 5 1/2
- 17/5 - 3.4 - 3 2/5
- 15/8 - 1.875 - 1 7/8
- 33/10 - 3.3 - 3 3/10
- 29/12 - 2.416 - 2 5/12
I hope that this info helps! :D

Therefore
(4y+6) +y = 46
We can combine the like terms:
5y + 6 = 46
Subtract 6 on both sides:
5y+6-6=46-6
Therefore 5y =40
Divide by 5 on both sides
5y/5 = 40/5
Therefore
y= 8
We found y but to find the value x we use y.
X= 4y+6
Therefore
x= (4*8)+ 6
Therefore
x= 32 + 6
x= 38.
To find the answer to the question we do the equation
Which gets us our answer of 20%
