You can get all the terms on one side, and then solve for x by any means:

Factor out a -2:

Factor this equation:

I will use the AC method. To use it, first multiply a and c (in ax^2 + bx +c):

Now, look for two numbers that multiply to -12 and add to -11. Obviously these numbers are -12 and 1. (-12*1 = -12 and -12+1 = -11). Now, because of rules, you set it up in a Punnett square:
4x^2 -12x
x -3
Now, we find common factors of the terms in rows:
_x_______-3__
4x| 4x^2 -12x
1 | x -3
So, you can use this to write an equivalent expression to the quadratic given:

Now, we known the factors are (solve for x):
3 and -1/4.
Answer:
Population of bacteria at time
is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
If
represents the number of bacteria in a culture at time t, how many will there be at time 
Solution
Given
The population of bacteria after time t is equal to 
Population when at time 
We will substitute the value of time in above equation.

Find the hundreds place. The digit in it is 1. Now look at the digit directly to the right of it. The digit is 8. If the digit immediately before the digit you want to round is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. 8 > 5, so round up.
The rounded value is 3200.
Hope that helped you.
