A group of scientist study the effect of chemical on Various strains of bacteria. Strain A started with 6000 cells and decreases
at a constant rate of 2000 cells per hour after the chemical was applied. strain B started with 2000 cells and decreased at a constant rate of 1000 cells per hour after the chemical was applied. when will just strains have the same number of cells? explain
After h hours A has 6000 - 2000h cells and B has 2000 - 1000h. Equating them as one form: 6000 - 2000h = 2000 - 1000h -2000h + 1000h = 2000 - 6000 -1000h = -4000 h = -4000/-1000 = 4 hours
