I believe the answer is 32
Bacteria growth occurs exponentially; bacteria divides into 2 every t minutes (similar to the penny doubling every day story). If one gets filled, and the contents divides once, there will be enough for 2 bottles; when these two are ready to divide, there will be enough for 4. This growth process begins very slowly - 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32; but it soon speeds up greatly, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
24 - 3 x = -27
Subtract 24 from each side
24-24 - 3 x = -27-24
-3x =-51
Divide each side by -3
-3x/-3 = -51/-3
x = 17
Check
24 -3(17) = -27
24 -51 = -27
-27 = -27
