It is given that the bacteria in a colony doubles every 8 hours.

To find the population of bacteria 24 hours from now, we need to find the population of bacteria after every 8 hours.

The present population of the bacteria is 9315.

After 8 hours, the bacteria becomes double. So, the number of bacteria becomes 9315 x 2 = 18630.

Again after 8 hours, the bacteria becomes 18630 x 2 = 37260.

Again after 8 hours, the bacteria becomes 37260 x 2 = 74520.

Thus, after 24 hours from now, the population of the bacteria is 74520.

What is solution 7x+5y=-24 and 4x+y=42?
LenKa [72]
7x+5y=-24 (1)
   4x+y=42 (2)

multiply equation (2) by 5 to get
20x+5y=210 (3)

then calculate (3)-(2) which gives you
13x=234 hence x=18
then substitute for x in either equation to get y=-30
