If the result, when solving a system by either elimination or substitution, is -5 = -5, the solution is:

Write a corresponding real world problem to represent 2x - 125=400

David estimated he had about 20 fish in his pond. a year later, there were about 1.5 times as many fish. the year after that, the number of fish increased by a factor of 1.5 again. the number of fish is modeled by f(x)=20(1.5)^x. create a question you could ask that could be answered only by graphing or using a logarithm.

Arefrigeration system at your company uses temperature sensors fixed to read celsius (°c) values, but the system operators in your control room understand only the fahrenheit scale. you have been asked to make a fahrenheit (°f) label for the high temperature alarm, which is set to ring whenever the system temperature rises above –10°c. what fahrenheit value should you write on the label?
