A predator–prey system with both species harvested at per-capita rate 11 is x′=x(4−2y)−x,  y′=y(3x−6)−yx' = x(4 - 2y) - x,\; y' = y(3x - 6) - y. Every positive solution other than the equilibrium is periodic. Over one full period of any such solution, find the time-average of the total population x+yx + y.
