Your house recently was infested with a type of killer bee from Africa and you are forced to evacuate. There were 3,000 bees in the siding of your wall. A local company came and
treated your house and told you that approximately 18.5% of the bees would die each day.
When there are fewer than 500 bees in your siding, you can return to your home.
Approximately how long will it be before you can return?

n=1.75+1.75

step-by-step explanation:

3.5/2=1.75

we can set up an equation to find the girls' ages. the equation is         28=0.5x-5+x. (comment if you need me to explain how i got this equation.) so, you add x and 0.5x to get 1.5x and add 5 to each side. your new equation is 33=1.5x. now divide both sides of the equation by 1.5 to get 22=x. because x is mary's age, to find jasmine's age we subtract mary's age from 28. we find that mary is 22 years old and jasmine is 6 years old.
