Apopulation of flies grows according to the function p(x) = 6(3)x, where x is measured in weeks. a local spider has set up shop and consumes flies according to the function s(x) = 4x + 1. what is the population of flies after two weeks with the introduced spider?
9
45
54
67

 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining population of flies after 2 weeks is ...

  p(x) -s(x) . . . . when x=2

  p(2) -s(2) = 6·3² -(4·2 +1) = 54 -9 = 45

step-by-step explanation:

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
