Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

15+(5-x)/x=30

1) Subtract 15 from both sides:

(5-x)/x=15

2) Multiply both sides by x:

5-x=15x

3) Add x to both sides:

16x=5

4) Divide both sides by 16:

x=5/16

How do i do time and distance

larisa [96]

Answer:

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time. To solve for time use the formula for time, t = d/s which means time equals distance divided by speed.

A function models the growth of a sample starting with 40 bacteria with the ability to double every two hours. Which graph

natima [27]

Answer:

The function is y = 40 * 2^(x/2)

The graph is in the image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models this growth is an exponencial function, that can be described with the following equation:

y = a * b^(x/n)

Where a is the inicial value, b is the rate of growth, x is the time and n is the relation between the time and the rate (the rate occurs for every two hours, so n = 2).

Then, using a = 40, r = 2 and n = 2, we have:

y = 40 * 2^(x/2)

If we plot this function, we have the graph shown in the image attached,

It is an exponencial graph, where the value of y increases very fast in relation to the increase of x.
