Having point M as midpoint of segment AB, it only shows that the length of AM is equal to the length MB. Hence, AM = MB

AM = MB
2x + 5 = 5x - 22      ⇒ substitute the values
5 + 22 = 5x - 2x      ⇒ combine like terms
27 = 3x                   ⇒ simplify and divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x
x = 9                       ⇒ Answer

A biologist is studying a bacteria population that initially contains 10^3 bacteria. In the lab, the population doubles every we
iragen [17]

Answer: 8000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the expression 10³ × 2^w models the population of the bacteria after w weeks.

The number of bacteria that will be present in 3 weeks will then be:

= 10³ × 2^w

= 10³ × 2³

= 1000 × 8

= 8000 bacterias

A ramp has a horizontal distance of 10 feet and a vertical rise of 3 feet. Find the length of the ramp. Round to the nearest ten
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tye length of the ramp can be gotten using Pythagoras theorem.

Horizontal distance = 10ft.

Vertical distance = 3ft

Length of the ramp² = 10²+3²

Length of the ramp² = 100+9

Length of the ramp² = 109

L² = 109

L =√109

L = 10.44ft

Hence the length of the ramp is 10.4ft to the nearest tenth
