Solve the system of equations by elimintion express the solution as and order paired
1 answer:
First convert the first equation to combine like terms. Then set your equations up as an addition problem. You want at least one of your variables (y) to be of opposite values so the will cancel out to leave you with just one variable (x). Plug in 1/3 for the x into one of the equations to solve for y. Then write as an ordered pair.

Answer:
0.66
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth equation is expressed as;
S(t) = S0e^kt
S(t) is the number of stores after t years
S0 is the initial number of stores
If a chain of retail computer stores opened 2 stores in its first year of operation then at t = 1, S(t) = 2. Substitute into the equation;
2 = S0e^k(1)
2 = S0e^k .... 1
Also if after 8 years of operation, the chain consisted of 206 stores, this means at t = 8, S(t) = 206. Substitute into the equation;
206 = S0e^k(1)
206 = S0e^8k .... 2
Next is to calculate the value of k
Divide equation 2 by 1;
Hence the value of k to the nearest hundredth is 0.66
