Hey you! Yes you! You are awesome! Can you help me?

a = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the equations must have the same line when graphed. Knowing this, it also means that the equations equal the same thing - they're just written differently. Also, remember that a constant term is just a number with no variables.

First, I would organize the second equation into standard format just like the first one (moving the x and y terms to the left side):

Then, by comparing the x and y terms in both equations, we can see that the second equation is just the first equation multiplied by 3. (Notice how 2x times 3 is 6x, and 5y times 3 is 15y.) So, we would need our constant on the left hand side to do the same, to equal -8 times 3, or -24.

Thus, we would need to find what added to 16 equals -24, and we can do this with a simple algebra equation:

Therefore, a would need to equal -40 in order for the system to have infinitely many solutions.

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 !
