Solve the equation. - 1/3m – 7 = 5 a. –4 b. –15 c. –36 d. 6

−1/3‌m−7=5Add 7 to both sides.‌−1/3‌m−7+7=5+7
‌−1/3‌m=12Multiply both sides by 3/(-1).(‌3/−1‌)*(‌−1/3‌m)=(‌3/−1‌)*(12)m=−36m=−36

The appropriate decay equation will have the following form: b = ne^(kt).here the initial population is 3500, so b = 3500e^(-0.022[6]).                                                b = 3500e^(-1.32)                                                b = 3500(0.2671) = 934 (rounded down from                                                                                  934.97).
