Ok, so first we distribute "4" over 3x and 2. Distributing is basically multiplying the value next to the parenthesis by the values inside. From there, you get 12x+8-2. Then, you combine like terms, subtracting 2 from 8. The simplified expression is 12x+6!! :) Hope I helped!

Answer:

The model for the pollutant levels in the soil t years from the first measurement is:

$Y(t)=65e^{0.044}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a first measurement of 65 parts per million (ppm) of pollutant.

We also know that the pollutant levels were growing exponentially at a rate of 4.5% a year.

We can model this as:

$Y(t)=Y_0e^{kt}$

The value of Y0 is the first measurement, that correspond to t=0.

$Y_0=65$

The ratio for the pollutant levels for two consecutive years is 1+0.045=1.045. This can be expressed as the division between Y(t+1) and Y(t), and gives us this equation:

$\dfrac{Y(t+1)}{Y(t)}=\dfrac{Y_0e^{k(t+1)}}{Y_0e^{kt}} =\dfrac{e^{k(t+1)}}{e^{kt}}=e^{k(t+1-t)}=e^k=1.045\\\\\\k=ln(1.045)\approx 0.044$

Then, we have the model for the pollutant levels in the soil t years from the first measurement:

$Y(t)=65e^{0.044}$

Andre has 4 times as many model cars as Peter, and Peter has

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: 4p = 36 ; 3p = J.

Peter has 9 model cars, while Jade has 27 model cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Andre has 36 model cars, which is 4 times as many as Peter. Let P represent Peter: 4p = 36.

How many times does 4 go into 36? 9 times. Peter has 9 model cars.

Peter has 1/3 of Jade's model cars. Let J represent Jade. 3p = J. We know p is 9, so we can plug it into this equation. 3 x 9 = 27. Jade has 27 model cars.
