<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 23.77 hours

<h2>Why?</h2>

Total(t)=Start*2^\frac{t}{15}

Where:

Total(t) is equal to the amount for a determined time (in hours)

<em>Start</em> is the original amount

<em>t </em>is the time in hours.

For example, it's known from the statement that the bacteria double their population every 15 hours, so it can be written like this:

Total(15)=100*2^\frac{15}{15}=100*2^{1}=100*2=200

To calculate how long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300, we should do the following calculation:

300=100*2^{\frac{t}{15} } } \\\frac{300}{100}=2^{\frac{t}{15} } }\\log(3)=log(2^{\frac{t}{15} })\\\\\\log(3)=\frac{t}{15}*log2\\t=\frac{log(3)}{log(2)} *15=23.77

So, to know if we are right, let's replace 23.77 h in the equation:

Total(t)=100*2^\frac{23.77}{15}=299.94

and 299.94≅300

Have a nice day!

It would be 6(4a2 - 3)
you would factor out just the 6 because the 18 doesn’t a a term with it like 34a2 does. then just divide normally to get ur answer 6(4a2 - 3)
