x < -23/2

Step-by-step explanation:

you open the bracket first

LHS

3-(2x - 5)

-6x+15

RHS

-4(x+2)

=-4x-8

therefore:

-6x+15 < -4x-8

By collecting the like terms

-6x+4x < -8-15

=-2x<-23

Divide both side by -2x

-2x/-2 < -23/-2

x < -23/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3-(2x-5) <-4(x+2)

=> 3- 2x +5 +4x +8<0

=> 16 + 2x <0

=> 2x < -16

=> x < -8

A certain bacteria is growing at a rate of 4 percent each day. If the culture of bacteria has 5,000 bacteria today, how many bac

Virty [35]

This is the concept of exponential growth, To get the number of bacteria after 10 days we use the formula:
f(t)=ae^(kt)
where;
a=initial number=5000
k=constant of proportionality= 0.04
t=time=10 days
f(t)=future number
thus the number of bacteria in 10 days will be:
f(t)=5000e^(0.04*10)
f(t)=7,459.12
The answer is 7,459.12

. The mean width of 12 iPads is 5.1 inches. The mean width of 8 Kindles is 4.8 inches. a. What is the total width of the iPads?

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) 61.2, b) 38.4 and c) 4.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The mean width of 12 I-Pads is 5.1 inches.

The mean width of 8 Kindles is 4.8 inches.

Question asked:

a. What is the total width of the I-Pads?

b. What is the total width of the Kindles?

c. What is the mean width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles?

Solution:

As we know:

$Mean =\frac{Sum\ of\ observations}{Number\ of\ observations}\\ \\ Mean\ width =\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all \ I-pad}{Number \ of\ I-pad}$

$5.1=\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}{12} \\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}=5.1\times1 2\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}= 61.2$

a) Thus, the total width of the I-Pads are 61.2 inches.

$Mean\ width =\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ Kindles}{Number \ of\ Kindles}$

$4.8=\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\Kindles}{8} \\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all \ Kindles=4.8\times8\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of \ all\ Kindles}=38.4$

b) Thus, total width of the Kindles are 38.4 inches.

Combined width of both I-pad and Kindles = 61.2 + 38.4 = 99.6 inches

Combined number of observations = 12 + 8 =20

Combined mean of width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles = Combined width of both I-pad and Kindles $\div$ Combined number of observations

Combined mean of width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles = $\frac{99.6}{20} =4.98\ inches$

c) Thus, the mean width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles is 4.98 inches.
