Answer:
22848 is your answer after you subtract the interest rate
Step-by-step explanation:
89.01 is the less equality of the center value of the question
You can do this by first finding the y intercept which is the point where x = 0
-3(0) + y = 2
so y intercept is the point (0,2)
Now find the x intercept by putting y = 0
-3x = 2
x = -2/3
So we have 2 points (-2/3, 0) and (0,2) Draw a line through these 2 points and you have the required graph.
To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t,

. This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375
