Answer:
k
Step-by-step explanation:
5x -15 + 3 -8x = 13
5x -12 -8x = 13
5x -8x =13 -12
-3x = 1
x = -1/3
Andy will record 6x + 5 bacteria cells, while Samantha will record 2^x + 3 bacteria cells. These will be equal at a time when:
6x + 5 = 2^x + 3
Plotting both of these shows that they are equal when x = 5 and y = 35.
Therefore, the number of bacteria cells will be equal at 35, at t = 5 hours.
