Oracles are a myth. They come from the greeks legends that include Zeus and the Olympians.
Answer:
about 520,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Following directions, we evaluate the equation by putting the value where the variable is and doing the arithmetic.
__
The value of x will be the number of days between May 26 and May 12. That value is ...
x = 26 -12 = 14
Then the number of mosquitos is estimated to be ...
y = 230,000(1.06^14) ≈ 520,008
About 520,000 mosquitos will inhabit the city on May 26.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Typically, an "estimate" is one or two significant figures. So, 520,000 is a reasonable estimate. 520,008 has more precsision than can be justified.
So, let's begin...
First off, you must note that the question is asking for the d value when you substitute the value of c(x).
You are given the following information:
1. The c(x) value is already given to be 0.75x.
2. The equation to find d of (any value) is 0.8y-5.
So, substitute the value of 0.75x as a y value into 0.8y - 5. This is because you are substituting the value of c(x) for d. This is equal to 0.8 times 0.75x - 5. This is equal to 0.6x - 5, which is the function. Thus, your final answer is d(c(x)) = 0.6x - 5.
If you have any questions please comment. Otherwise, hope this helps! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
2+6x= -10 + 11(x + 4)
2+ 6x = -10 + 11x + 11(4)
2 + 6x = -10 + 11x + 44
2+ 6x = 11x + 34
6x - 11x = 34 - 2
-5x = 32
x= - 32/5
