Can you pls take the pic again it’s too blurry
There are 3 available methods - Substitution , Elimination and <span>Matrix.
</span>The substitution<span> method is used to eliminate one of the variables by replacement.
</span>
The elimination method<span> is used for solving linear systems.
</span>
<span>A Matrix is an array of numbers.
</span>
Lets use Substitution to solve this system.
Now substitute <span>

Hence -
The percentage rate of increase is 36.2% and the exponential function represent the growth.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent 
where 'a' is a constant and a>1
We have exponential function:

If we compare with

If 1+r > 1
1.362 > 1
So the growth rate r is
1 + r = 1.362
r = 0.362
r = 0.362×100
r = 36.2%
Thus, the percentage rate of increase is 36.2% and the exponential function represent the growth.
