You sure seem to be asking a lot of questions lately. I'd like to see that you've been trying with these problems at least because if you can't get that first one it's almost like you missed the whole lesson.
1. 20 = 4b + 7 + 5
Add the 7 and 5.
20 = 4b + 12
Subtract 12 from each side.
8 = 4b
Divide each side by 4.
2 = b
2. 7 = 6k - 7k
6k - 7k = -1k. (the k acts as a sort of unit)
7 = -1k
Divide each side by -1.
-7 = k
3. 3.23 - 2m = 3 - 2(5m - 2)
Distribute the ×-2 to each term inside the parentheses.
3.23 - 2m = 3 - 10m + 4
Add the 3 and 4.
3.23 - 2m = 7 - 10m
Add 10m to each side.
3.23 + 8m = 7
Subtract 3.23 from each side.
8m = 3.77
Divide by 8.
m = 0.47125
4. -88/45=1/3r+2/5r
To get rid of the fractions, let's multiply everything by 45.
-88 = 15 + 18r
Subtract 15 from each side.
-103 = 18r
Divide by 18.
-103/18 = r
As a mixed number, r = -5 and 13/18
As a decimal, r = -5.7222...
Answer:
The number of bacteria at initial = 187
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the population of bacteria in a culture grows at a rate proportional to the number of bacteria present at time t.


Integrating both side we get
㏑ N = k t + C ------- (1)
Now given that after 3 hours it is observed that 500 bacteria are present and after 10 hours 5000 bacteria are present.
⇒ ㏑ 500 = 3 k + C -------- (2)
⇒ ㏑ 5000 = 10 k + C ------ (3)
⇒ ㏑ 5000 - ㏑ 500 = 7 k
⇒ ㏑
= 7 k
⇒ ㏑ 10 = 7 k
⇒ k = 0.329
Put this value of k in equation (2),
⇒ ㏑ 500 = 3 × 0.329 + C
⇒ C = 5.23
Put this value of C in equation 1 we get,
⇒ ㏑ N = k t + 5.23
Initially when t = 0 , then
⇒ ㏑ N = 5.23
⇒ N = 187
Thus the number of bacteria at initial = 187
