Let the function P represent the population P(d), in thousands, of a colony of insects d days after first being measured. A model for P is P(d)=10⋅(1. 08)d. Select all the statements that are true about this situation. There were 1,080 insects when the colony was first counted.

One week after the colony was first counted, there were 10,800 insects.

The growth factor per day is 1. 8.

The growth factor per week is 1. 08⋅7.

The growth factor per hour is 1. 8124

Ok here we go ..there are plenty of ways to solve such math problems but we will go for the smartest and easiest ..5x+2y=7  -2x+6y=9we rearrange them into the following ..by multiplying the 1st equation by 2 it becomes 10x + 4y = 14we rearrange it and so it becomes 10x = 14 - 4yas for the second equation we multiply it by 5 and rearrange it so it becomes as to the following ..-10x + 30y = 45rearranging so 10x = 30y -45now 10x equals both 14 - 4y and 30y -45so   14 - 4y = 30y -4531 = 26yy= 31/26 = 1.19 or around 1.2so by now we can calculate x easily as  -2x+6y=9so 2x = 6y -9 = 6 * 31/26 - 9 = -1.84  then x = - 0.92 or around -0.9best luck!
