A country's Department of Wildlife hires Elizabeth to estimate its wild goat population. Elizabeth catches 75 goats, tags them, and releases them. Then Elizabeth uses binoculars to observe a group of 260 goats, 25 of which are tagged. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the goat population?

300

Step-by-step explanation:

if Elizabeth tagged 75 and observes 260 with 25 already taged yo need to add 260+75-25+310

since you need to round to nearest whole number it will be 300

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

answer:

a=9
