One species of fish in a fishery had an initial population of 255 fish and grew by 25 fish each season. A second species that wa

s being overfished started with an initial population of 450 fish, and then decreased by 40 fish each season. Assuming a linear change, write equations for the populations of each species. When will the two populations have the same amount of fish? After how many seasons will the second species be eliminated?

Answer:

a) during the 3rd season the populations will be the same

b) after 11 1/4 seasons the second species of fish will be eliminated

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  y = 25x + 255

2) y = -40x + 450

the above linear equations model the statements from the problem

we can find out when the two populations will have the same amount by graphing them and finding the point of intersection or by setting them equal to each other:

25x + 255 = -40x + 450

add 40x to each side to get:

65x + 255 = 450

subtract 255 from each side to get:

65x = 195

x = 195/65

x = 3

To find the season when the second species is eliminated we can use the second equation and set 'y' equal to zero and solve for 'x':

0 = -40x + 450

subtract 450 from each side to get:

-450 = -40x

x = -450/-40

x = 11.25

Write your question here (Keep it simple and clear to get the best answer)if use the spinner 200 times how many pink colour woul
notka56 [123]

Answer: 40 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability in a sigle spin of getting the colour pink is p = 0.2

This means that in 0.2*100%  = 20% of the spins we should see the colour pink.

Then, out of 200 spins, the 20% of 200 is

(20%/100%)*200 = 0.2*200 = 40

This means that out of 200 spins, in around 40 of them we will se the colour pink.

In order to solve the system of equations below, Harvey multiplies each equation by a constant to eliminate the x terms.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 14 x + 6 y = 10. Negative 14 x minus 35 y = 77</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out the constants to eliminate the x terms

7 x + 3 y = 5

2 x + 5 y = negative 11

Let's multiply the first equation by 2 and the second one by -7, this way:

2 * (7 x + 3 y = 5)

-7 * (2 x + 5 y = negative 11)

14x + 6y = 10

-14x - 35y = 77

<u>The correct answer is A. 14 x + 6 y = 10. Negative 14 x minus 35 y = 77</u>
