Answer:
n=13
Step-by-step explanation:
24=3(n-5)
24=3n-15
-3n=-24-15
-3n=-39
n=13
You forgot to add in your height to your question. To find your area you need to do 8 + 14 and get 22 then you nee to do the height divided by two. If you give me the height of the triangle I can tell you the area.
To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t,

. This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375
