f(3x - 1) = 6x - 1
Rewrite 6x - 1 as a function of 3x - 1:
6x - 1 = 6x - 2 + 1 = 2(3x - 1) + 1
That is,
f(3x - 1) = 2(3x - 1) + 1
which means
f(x) = 2x + 1
and so
f(0) = 2*0 + 1 = 1
So it starts with 12 in the bacterial population. After 1 hour, 6 are added. After another hour passed, 9 are added. 12/1, 18/6, 27/9.
f) 16 - p = 12 minus 12
4 - p = 0 plus p
p = 4
g) 18 - 2p = 6 divide by -2
-9 + p = -3 plus 9
p = 6
h) p x 2 + 4 = 9 divided by 2
p + 2 = 4.5 minus 2
p = 2.5
i) p x 4 - 3 = 1 plus 3
p x 4 = 4 divided by 4
p = 1
To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number. <span>If there are two middle numbers, you average them.
</span><span>18, 21, 21, 24, 26, 35, 39, 48
The two middle number are 24 and 26
Average 24 + 26/2 = 25
The median is 25

Option C
For each value of y, -2 is a solution of -21 = 6y - 9
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, equation is – 21 = 6y – 9
We have to find that whether given set of options can satisfy the above equation or not
Now, let us check one by one option
<em><u>Option A) </u></em>
Given option is -5
Let us substitute -5 in given equation
- 21 = 6(-5) – 9
- 21 = -30 – 9
- 21 = - 39
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
<em><u>Option B)</u></em>
Given option is 3
- 21 = 6(3) – 9
- 21 = 18 – 9
- 21 = 9
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
<em><u>Option C)</u></em>
Given option is -2
- 21 = 6(-2) – 9
- 21 = - 12 – 9
- 21 = - 21
L.H.S = R.H.S ⇒ yes a solution
<em><u>Option D)</u></em>
- 21 = 6(9) – 9
- 21 = 54 – 9
- 21 = 45
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
Hence, the solution for the given equation is – 2, so option c is correct
