The elkwood aquatic society is working wirh various reptiles species to increase their populations. in their latest effort , the initial population of 450 endangered tutles triplied each year for the past five years

Hi!, i guess you want to know the final number of turtles.

if the original number is 450 and they triplied in one year, then after the first year you have 450*3= 1350 turtles.

this process happens for 5 years, it means that the turtles triplied 5 times, you can write this as:

So, at the end, they had a lot of turtles.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

step-by-step explanation:

there's the chart
