4 - 1/x (16)-1/x 2
4x-18/x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
S=student cost; T=teacher cost
.
32S+3T=$127 . Multiply this by 2.
64S+6T=$254 Subtract this below
.
25S+2T=$97.50 . Multiply this by 3.
75S+6T=$292.50
64S+6T=$254 . Subtract this (from above.)
.
11S=$38.50
S=$3.50
ANSWER 1: Student tickets cost $3.50.
.
32S+3T=$127
32($3.50)+3T=$127
$112+3T=$127
3T=$15
T=$5.00
ANSWER 2: Teacher tickets cost $5.00.
.
CHECK:
25S+2T=$97.50
25($3.50)+2($5.00)=$97.50
$87.50+$10.00=$97.50
$97.50=$97.50
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
