Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the population
so we have ,
2x= 6h
?= 3 days or 3×24h
by cross multiplication we have
2x× 72h= 6h×?
?= 2x×72/6 = 24x
So, in three days the bacteria will b 24 times current population.
Hope this isn't too confusing
b, but I'm not sure. this could very easily be incorrect. you may need to look this up on google first.
Let the three numbers be x, y and z respectively, then
x + y + z = 62 . . . (1)
y = x - 4 . . . (2)
z = 4x . . . (3)
The above three expressions could be used to represent the numbers.
Solving the three equations, putting (2) and (3) into (1) gives
x + x - 4 + 4x = 62
6x - 4 = 62
6x = 62 + 4 = 66
x = 66/6 = 11
x = 11.
y = 11 - 4 = 7
z = 4(11) = 44
x = 11, y = 7, z = 44.
