1. two pieces of equipment were purchased for a total of $4000. if one piece cost $850 more fean
the other, find the price of the less expensive piece of equipment. assume all data ze 2002
to two significant agits unless grezier 20curacy is given

$1,575

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the cost of the less expensive piece of equipment

x+850 = the cost of the more expensive piece of equipment

x + (x+850) = 4,000 the.     two pieces together cost 4,000, so I added up the cost of the less expensive piece and the more expensive piece, and equaled it to 4,000

solve the equation:

x + (x+850) = 4,000

2x+850=4,000

2x=3,150

÷2

x=1,575

it's both, now can you answer my most recent question?

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
