We need to find a number that is a factor of both 34 and 16.
2 will work.
2(17+8) <=== equivalent expression
The distributive property is:
a(b+c)= ab+ac
I hope this helps!

Given that the population quadruples every 39 minutes, you can determine that this bacteria population has Exponential Growth.
By definition, an Exponential Equation as this form:

Where "a" is the initial amount, "b" is the base, and "t" is the time period.
In this case, you know that:

Therefore, since you need to express the time "t" in minutes:

Now you can write the following equation to model the situation:
Check the picture below.

Answer:
174 ft squared
Step-by-step explanation:
6*20=120
3*18=54
54+120=174
