From that statement, we can go about making an expression.

Half of the number (x), is equal to 2 less than 2/3rds of the number<em />
<em>:
0.5x = (2/3)x -2
</em>1.5x = 2x - 6
-0.5x = -6
0.5x = 6
x = 12

So a number that such that statement is true is 12.

Which property justifies the following statement?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given statement is

5(72 – 3y) = 360– 15y

When we apply the distributive property to the left hand side we get;

5(72 - 3y) = 5 \times 72 - 5 \times 3y

When we simplify we get

5(72 - 3y) =360- 15y

Therefore the distributive property justifies the given statement.

The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate
amid [387]

Answer:

It takes 7.37 hours for the size of the sample to double.

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous exponential growth model:

The continuous exponential growth model for populations is given by:

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate parameter, as a decimal.

Growth rate parameter of 9.4% per hour.

This means that r = 0.094

So

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

P(t) = P(0)e^{0.094t}

How many hours does it take for the size of the sample to double?

This is t for which P(t) = 2P(0). So

P(t) = P(0)e^{0.094t}

2P(0) = P(0)e^{0.094t}

e^{0.094t} = 2

\ln{e^{0.094t}} = \ln{2}

0.094t = \ln{2}

t = \frac{\ln{2}}{0.094}

t = 7.37

It takes 7.37 hours for the size of the sample to double.
