B=A+5
10A+B=3(A+B)
Replace the B’s in the bottom equation with A+5s, because we know that’s the same thing from the top equation

10A+A+5=3(A+A+5)
11A+5=3(2A+5)
11A+5=6A+15
5A=10
A=2
Then B is 5 more than that so B=7
Your number is 27
**To double check**
When we double check this and see 7 is 5 more than then 2. Then 27 is three times what we get when we add the digits (2+7=9).

Suppose that the number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to an exponential growth model. A sample of 2600

melisa1 [442]

Answer: There is 3.994% continuous growth rate per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial bacteria = 2600

After two and a half hours,

Number of bacteria = 2873

We need to find the continuous growth rate per hour.

As we know the equation for continuous growth rate per hour.

$y=y_0e^{rt}\\\\2873=2600e^{2.5r}\\\\\dfrac{2873}{2600}=e^{2.5r}\\\\1.105=e^{2.5r}\\\\\text{Taking log on both the sides}\\\\\ln 1.105=2.5r\\\\0.0998=2.5r\\\\r=\dfac{0.0998}{2.5}\\\\r=0.0399\times 100\\\\r=3.994\%$
