This involves creating some equations.

First, these are what the letters I used stand for:

c = children

w = women

m = men

x = total population

Then, we must make an equation for each statement.

2/5x = m (2/5 of the people are men)

3c = w (there are 3 times as many women than children)

45+c = m (there are 45 more men than children)

Now, let's start plugging in our numbers:

x = all the men, women, and children

2/5(m+w+c) = m

2/5 (45+c +3c + c) = m     [Now simplify]

2/5 (45 + 5x) = m       [Now Distribute]

2/5(45) + (2/5)(5x) = m

2c + 18 = m    [Above we stated that there were the same amount as men as c +45]

2c + 18 = 45 +c     [Now set equal to c]

2c (-c) +18 = 45 +c (-c)

c+18 (-18) = 45 (-18)

c = 27

Now that we know that there was 27 children, we can plug 27 in for c in the other equations.

MEN = 27 + 45

WOMEN = 3(27)

CHILDREN = 27

Now add those three answers to find your total!

If 3t-7=5t, then 6t =
Natalija [7]
The answer is:  " -21 " .
__________________________________________
We are asked to solve for: "6t" ; which is: "6 * t" .
__________________________________________
Given:  3t − 7 = 5t ;  Solve for "t" ; then solve for "6t" ;

     3t − 7 = 5t ;   Subtract "3t" from each side of the equation;
____________________________________________
    3t − 7 − 3t  =  5t − 3t ;

to get:  -7  = 2t  ;

Divide EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "t" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "t" ;

-7/2 = 2t / 2 ;

-3.5 = t  ;  ↔  t = - 3.5 ;
____________________________________________
Now, solve for "6t" ;

  6 t = 6*(-3.5) = - 21 .   The answer is:  " -21 " .

Answer:

(a is size of side of triangle)

the perimeter of equilateral triangle =3a

or, 36=3a

Thus, a = 13cm

area of equilateral triangle

=√3/4*(a^2 )

=√3/4*(13^2)

=73cm^2

A scientist running an experiment starts with 100 bacteria cells. These bacteria double their population every 15 hours. Find ho
IRISSAK [1]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 23.77 hours

<h2>Why?</h2>

Total(t)=Start*2^\frac{t}{15}

Where:

Total(t) is equal to the amount for a determined time (in hours)

<em>Start</em> is the original amount

<em>t </em>is the time in hours.

For example, it's known from the statement that the bacteria double their population every 15 hours, so it can be written like this:

Total(15)=100*2^\frac{15}{15}=100*2^{1}=100*2=200

To calculate how long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300, we should do the following calculation:

300=100*2^{\frac{t}{15} } } \\\frac{300}{100}=2^{\frac{t}{15} } }\\log(3)=log(2^{\frac{t}{15} })\\\\\\log(3)=\frac{t}{15}*log2\\t=\frac{log(3)}{log(2)} *15=23.77

So, to know if we are right, let's replace 23.77 h in the equation:

Total(t)=100*2^\frac{23.77}{15}=299.94

and 299.94≅300

Have a nice day!
