Writing the word problem as an equation you get:
x - 18 ≥ -12
Now to solve for x:
Add 18 to both sides of the inequality:
x ≥ -12 + 18
Simplify:
x ≥ 6
Answer:
option c is the correct answer
Yes, you got it! You would need to set the equations equal to each other, because that represents when their populations are the same. Then, solving for x will find the time in months until you reach that equilibrium in population. If you need help solving for x, just comment on this. Hope it helps!
It’s impossible to do this because…….. so that’s why it’s impossible
Add all the number, and then divide it by number of numbers.
for example, 1, 2, 3, 7, 10
(1+2+3+7+10)/5
23/5 = 4.6 The average is 4.6
