Answer 1

A biologist is comparing the growth of a population of flies per week to the number of flies a bullfrog will consume per week. She has devised an equation to solve for which day (x) the bullfrog would be able to eat the entire population. The equation is 2x = 3x - 1. However, she has observed that the bullfrog cannot eat more than seven flies in one week.

Explain to the biologist how she can solve this on a graph using a system of equations. Identify any possible constraints to the situation.

Answer 2

All i need help with is "identify any possible constraints to the situation."

Answer 5

Is it 2x or 2^x

Answer 6

\[2x ~~ \text{or}~~2^x\]

Answer 7

2x = 3x-1 doesn't really make sense to me
