The picture in the attached figure

we know that
In similar triangles. The ratio of the lengths of the sides CS and CB must be equal to the ratio of the lengths of sides CR and CA.   CS / CB = CR / CA
which can also be written as, 
CS / (CS + SB) = CR / (CR + RA)
CS*(CR+RA)=CR*(CS+RA)
CS=2x+1
SB=6x
CR=7.5
RA=18
(2x+1)*[7.5+18]=7.5*[2x+1+18]
(2x+1)*[25.5]=7.5*[2x+19]
(51x+25.5)=15x+142.5
51x-15x=142.5-25.5
36x=117
x=117/36
x=3.25

the answer is 
x=3.25

In an insect colony there are 270 insects after 9 days. If there were initially 80 insects how long will it take the population
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth function of the insects is exponential.

The exponential growth function is:

y=a(1+r)^{t}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final value

<em>a</em> = initial value

<em>r</em> = growth rate

<em>t</em> = time taken

It is provided that there were 270 insects after 9 days and initially there were 80 insects.

Compute the value of <em>r</em> as follows:

y=a(1+r)^{t}\\\\270=80(1+r)^{9}\\\\3.375=(1+r)^{9}\\\\\ln(3.375)=9\cdot \ln(1+r)\\\\0.135155=\ln(1+r)\\\\1+r=1.14471\\\\r=0.145

Now, compute the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects as follows:

800=80(1+0.145)^{t}\\\\10=(1.145)^{t}\\\\\ln(10)=t\cdot \ln(1.145)\\\\t=17.00522\\\\t\approx 17

Thus, the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.
