The number of rainbow smelt in Lake Michigan had an average rate of change of −19.76 per year between 1990 and 2000. The bloater

fish population had an average rate of change of −92.57 per year during the same time. If the initial population of rainbow smelt was 227 and the initial population of bloater fish was 1,052, after how many years were the two populations equal? The linear function that models the population of rainbow smelt is y1 = −19.76x + 227, where x = the years since 1990 and y1 = the number of rainbow smelt. The linear function that models the population of bloater fish is y2 = . The linear equation that determines when the two populations were equal is –19.76x + 227 = –92.57x + 1052 . The solution is x = years.

Answer:

x= 11.33 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Y1= −19.76x + 227

Y2= = –92.57x + 1052

Y1 = Y2

–19.76x + 227 = –92.57x + 1052

Collect like terms and Simplify

-19.76x + 92.57x = 1052 - 227

72.81x = 825

Divide both sides by 72.81

x= 825 / 72.81

=11.33 years

Therefore,

x= 11.33 years

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear function that models the population of bloater fish is y2 =

–92.57x + 1,052

.

The linear equation that determines when the two populations were equal is

–19.76x + 227 = –92.57x + 1052

.

The solution is x =  11.33

years.

The nakagin capsule tower has 140 modules and is 14 stories high if the modules were divided evenly among the number of stories
Burka [1]
To determine the number of modules that is in each story, we simply divide the number of modules by the number of stories. 
                           = 140 / 14
Simplifying,
                           = 10 modules / story
Therefore, by even distribution we note that there are 10 modules per story.

Len made 1 1/3 liters of punch. He added 2/5 liters of water to make the punch. How much water was used for each liter of punch?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

  3/10 liter

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming your description means that 4/3 liters of punch includes 2/5 liters of water, then the fraction of punch that is water is ...

  (2/5)/(4/3) = (2/5)(3/4) = 3/10

3/10 of a liter of water is used in each liter of punch.

Arrange the circles (represented by their equations in general form) in ascending order of their radius lengths. Tiles x2 + y2 −
sashaice [31]
When doing this, we would have to first straight them all out, and as we see above, they are just all over the place, and then, we would have to set them up as a sequence.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5x2 + 5y2 - 20x + 30y + 40 = 0\end{array}\right] would be our first step in this problem mainly because it contains the most terms in this aspect.

Then we would then x2 + y2 - 2x + 2y -1 = 0, then, 2x2 + 2y2 - 28x - 32y - 8 = 0.

These would only be our first 3 part of the sequence in this aspect.

The others would then be the following:

\boxed{x2 + y2 + 12x - 2y - 9 = 0 } \ then \ , \boxed{x2 + y2 - 4x + 4y - 10 = 0} \\ \\ then \ \boxed{x2 + y2 - 8x - 6y -20 = 0}

Thus, as we would have one more afterward, our last part of the sequence would then be the following.

\boxed{\boxed{4x2 + 4y2 + 16x + 24y - 40 = 0}}

I hope this was found helpful!
