You want to know how long it'll take for the bacteria to grow
to (800/500) = 1.6 times their initial population.
The number of double-times it'll take is
[ log(1.6) / (log(2) ] = 0.6781 .
The double-time for these particular critters is 12 hours,
so it'll take them
0.6781 x 12 hours = 8.137 hours
= 8 hours 8.2 minutes .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8x = 9x - 7
-x = -7
x = 7
9(7)-7= 63-7=56
8(7)= 56
13y+7+56=180
13y+63=180
13y=117
y=9
13(9)+7= 117+7= 124
5y-11+56=90
5y+45=90
5y=45
y=9
5(9)-11+9(7)-7= z
45-11+63-7=z
34+56=z
90=z
The width is 11.
You can get this by setting up an equation that says:
x (x - 3) = 154
Then distribute and use the quadratic equation to solve.
