First you have to put all of your common numbers together. 4a and 9a go together. You then subtract those because 9 is negative (-9). Then you get -5a. Now move on to your other numbers. You have 26 and 17. 17 is negative as well (-17), so you subtract it from 26. That gives you 9.
Your new equation is -5a + 9 = 26
Now you subtract 9 from both sides. Your positive (+9) will cancel out with your negative (-9). Then subtract it from 26. 9 minus 26 is 17.
Now your equation is -5a = 17
Since it's negative, you're going to add it (5) to both sides.
Your 5's cancel out, and 17 + 5 is 22.
a = 22
22 is the answer
Billy drove 3.75 miles. You find the answer by dividing 7.5 by 2
Answer:
4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4= 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
This is really obvious but the answer is 4 feet.
There are 651.335 million cells in the petri dish after 11 hours and the cells will reach 1 billion cells after 14.068 hours
<h3>How to determine the number of cells after 11 hours?</h3>
The given parameters are:
At t = 0, Bacteria = 140 million
At t = 6, Bacteria = 320 million
This can be represented as:
f(0) = 140
f(6) = 320
An exponential function is represented as:
f(t) = f(0) * r^t
When t = 6, we have:
320 = 140 * r^6
Divide both sides by 140
r^6 = 2.28571428571
Take the 6th root of both sides
r = 1.15
So, we have:
f(t) = f(0) * 1.15^t
Substitute f(0) = 140
f(t) = 140 * 1.15^t
After 11 hours, we have:
f(11) = 140 * 1.15^11
Evaluate
f(11) = 651.33
Hence, there are 651.335 million cells in the petri dish after 11 hours
Time to reach 1 billion cells
This means that
f(t) = 1 billion i.e. 1000 million
So, we have:
1000 = 140 * 1.15^t
Divide by 140
1.15^t = 7.14285714286
Take the logarithm of both sides
t * log(1.15) = log(7.14285714286)
Divide both sides by log(1.15)
t = 14.068
Hence, the cells will reach 1 billion cells after 14.068 hours
