A. After w weeks, the number of comics Marcus will have is comics.

B.after w weeks, the number of comics Mike will have is comics.

C. an equation that represents Marcus and Mike having the same number of comic books after w weeks : .

D. After two weeks, the two boys will have the same number of comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Markus has 20 comics. So the constant for the equation is 20. If he gives 3 to his cousin Leila every week then

after 1 week, the number of comics Marcus has comics,

after 2 weeks, the number of comics Marcus has comics,

after w weeks, the number of comics Marcus will have is comics. This answers option A.

Step 2:

Mike has 10 comics. So the constant for the equation is 10. If he buys 2  new ones every week then

after 1 week, the number of comics Mike has comics,

after 2 weeks, the number of comics Mike has comics,

after w weeks, the number of comics Mike will have is comics. This answers option B.

Step 3:

To write an equation that represents Marcus and Mike having the same number of comic books after w weeks we equate both the above equations.

So the equation is , this answers option C.

If we solve this equation, we get

So after two weeks, the two boys will have the same number of comic books.

To check, we substitute the values.

after 2 weeks, the number of comics Marcus will have is comics and after 2 weeks, the number of comics Mike will have is comics. So the solution is correct. This answers option D.

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
