Games Played by Alex = y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Games played by Sam

Let y = Games played by Alex

Making Equations of given statements:

Sam played 4 more games than Alex did : 4+x=y

together they played 12 games: x+y = 12

Putting value of y=4+x into the equation x+y = 12

$x+y=12\\x+(4+x)=12\\x+4+x=12\\2x=12-4\\2x=8\\x=4$

Putting value of x=4 into 4+x=y

$4+x=y\\4+4=y\\8=y$

So, Games Played by Alex =y= 8

<h2>Population becomes 550 in 27 days</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of spiders in a lab is modeled by the function $P(x)=400(1.012)^{x}$ , where $x$ represents the number of days since population was first counted.

Consider that after $t$ days, the population of spiders has grown to 550. We need to find such $t$ .

$550=400(1.012)^{t}$

$(1.012)^{x}=\frac{550}{400}=1.375$

Applying logarithm on both sides,

$xlog_{10}(1.012)=log_{10}(1.375)$

$x=\frac{log_{10}(1.375)}{log_{10}(1.012)}=26.6967$

∴ It takes about 27 days for the population to become 550.
