Answer:

1.932 days (or approximatelly 1 day, 22 hours and 22 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

The inicial concentration is 60,000, and this concentration triples every 4 days, so we can write the equation:

P = Po * r^t

where P is the final concentration after t periods of 4 days, Po is the inicial concentration and r is the ratio that the concentration increases (r = 3)

Then, we have that:

102000 = 60000 * 3^t

3^t = 102/60 = 1.7

log(3^t) = log(1.7)

t*log(3) = log(1.7)

t = log(1.7)/log(3) = 0.483

so the number of days that will take is 4*0.483 = 1.932 days (or approximatelly 1 day, 22 hours and 22 minutes)

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

x=23°

Step-by-step explanation:

93°+(3x+18)°=180°

93°+3x+18°=180°

111°+3x=180°

3x=180°-111°

3x=69°

x=69°:3

x=23°
