( -5v–2)–( -9v–1)
= -5v -2+ 9v+ 1
= (-5v+ 9v)+ (1 -2) (combine like terms)
= 4v -1

The final answer is 4v -1~

A population of bacteria is initially 2,000. After three hours the population is 1,000.

lina2011 [118]

The population starts at 2000, so a=2000.

We also know that the population in 3 hours is 1000, so we can setup the equation:

2000 b^3 = 1000

This gets us:

b^3 = 1/2

And taking the cube root of both sides gives us:

b ≈ 0.7937005259841

Rounding that to 4 places, we have:

f(t) = 2000 (0.7937)^t

A passenger train and a freight train leave San Jose at 3PM, traveling in the same direction. The passenger train is going three

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Let's say that the speed of the freight train is $x$ and the one of the passenger train is $3x$ .

$x$ MPH means every hour the freight train covers $x$ miles., which means in 3h it will have covered 3 times as much: $3x$ mi.

Following the same logic, $3x$ MPH means every hour the passenger train covers $3x$ miles, meaning after 3h it will have covered 3 times as much as well: $9x$ mi.

Now, having expressed those distances and speeds algebraically, we find the difference between the two distances covered after 3h, knowing it will be equal to 240:

$9x-3x=6x\\6x=240\\x=240/6\\x=40$
