A contractor needs to buy nails to build a house. The nails come in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box has 200 nails and each large box has 400 nails. The
contractor bought twice as many small boxes as large boxes, which altogether had
3200 nails. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number
of small boxes purchased, x, and the number of large boxes purchased, y.

Here is your system of equations:

200x + 400y = 3200

y = 2x

Now plug into your calculator to see the graph.

Where the lines cross each other is the point that shows the solution.

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.  

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
