Answer:

x = 15/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply.

2(5+x) = 5(5-x)

Expand the brackets.

10+2x = 25 - 5x

Add 5x and -10 on both sides.

2x + 5x = 25 -10

Combine like terms.

7x = 15

Divide both sides by 7.

x = 15/7

The value of x is 15/7

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5 - x}{5 + x}  =  \frac{2}{5}

By doing cross multiplication

5(5-x)= 2(5+x)

=> 25-5x= 20+2x

=> 25 - 10 = 2x +5x

=> 15 = 7x

=> x = 15/7.

Hope it helps you.

Which function can be used to find the number of cells of bacteria in the population at time t
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

db / dt = kb  

this becomes b(t) = Ce^(kt)  

C = 100, the initial population  

P(1) = 420 = 100 e^(1k)  

4.2 = e^k  

ln 4.2 = k  

a) thus, b(t) = 100 e^(t ln 4.2)  

b) b(3) = 100 e^(3 ln 4.2)  

c) growth constant will still be ln 4.2 (constant percentage of populatioin)  

d) 10000 = 100 e^(t ln 4.2)  

100 = e^(t ln 4.2)  

ln 100 = t ln 4.2  

t = ln 100 / ln 4.2
