Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

First condition

Let the number be x

\dfrac{x+ 8}{4} = \dfrac{x - 3}{2}       Cross multiply

2(x + 8) = 4*(x - 3)                             Remove the brackets

2x + 16 = 4x - 12                               Add 12 to both sides

2x + 16 + 12 = 4x - 12 + 12                Simplify

2x + 28 = 4x                                     Subtract 2x from both sides

2x - 2x + 28 = 4x - 2x                      Simplify

28 = 2x                                             Divide both sides by 2

28/2 = 2x/2                

x = 14

IS THIS RIGHT <br> JUST ANSWER YES OR NO
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = x^2(x + 2) - 9(x + 2) = (x + 2)*(x^2 - 9)

(x + 2)/(x + 2)(x^2 - 9) = 1 / (x^2 - 9)

==============

1/(x^2 - 9) * (x^2 - 9)/(3x  + 1) = 1/(3x + 1)


Yes B is correct.

Invasive species often experience exponential population growth when introduced into a new environment. Zebra mussels are an inv
Oliga [24]

Answer:

If ‘a’ is the initial population of the Zebra mussels, then every six months, the population of Zebra mussels quadruples, i.e. it becomes 4a. In t years, i.e. in 2t intervals of 6 months each, the population of Zebra mussels can be computed with the help of a geometric series a, ar, ar2, ar3, …. arn-1 ( the series being finite with n terms) where a is the 1st term , r is the common ratio and n is the number of terms in the series..

Here, in 2t years, there will be 2t + 1 terms in the geometric series including the initial term. Thus in the above series, a = 10, r = 4 and n = 2t + 1. Then the population of the Zebra mussels after 2t years is the (2t +1)st term of the geometric series I.e. 10* ( 42t)                  

In 15 months, t = 15/12 = 1.25. Then the population of Zebra mussels after 15 months will be 10*(42.5 ) = 10 * 25 = 320

If after t years, the population of the Zebra mussels become 1 million , then we have

1000000 = 10 * (42t) or, 100000= 42t or,105 = 42t    Taking logarithms of both sides, we have 5 log 10 = 2t log 4 or, t = (5log10)/(2log4) = 5/1.20 years or (5/1.20) * 12 months = 50 months, i.e. 4 years and 2 months.
