Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

- 143,622 bacteria present on day 15

- the bacteria doubles twice a day

that means each day backwards, the bacteria is four times less the day before

therefore:

- on day 14, the number of bacteria is 143,622 / 4

which is 35,905.5

and so on!

so:

- day 13 = 8,976.375

- day 12 = 2,244.09375

- day 11 =  561.0234375

- day 10 = 140.255859375

this rounded to the nearest whole number is

= 140 bacteria

(you can't have a part of a bacteria!)

hope this helps! :)

Rani scores 4 times as many baskets as Layla. Tash scores 8 baskets less than Rani. They score 100 baskets in total. How many ba
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Tash scores 40 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Rani = R

Layla = L

Tash = T

R = 4L

T = 4L-8

As L + R + T = 100

L + 4L + 4L-8 = 100

Collect like terms

9L - 8 = 100

+ 8 both sides

9L = 108

divide by 9 both sides

L = 108 / 9

L = 12

Now..... T = 4L-8 substitute L with 12

T = 48 - 8

T = 40

(6,5), 7x-3y=5 find the equation of the line that contains the given point and is parallel to the line. write the equation in sl
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

y = (7/3)x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert given equation to y=mx+b form --> y = (7/3)x - 5/3

2. Equation of new line --> y = (7/3)x + b

  • Note: 7/3 is the slope and for lines to be parallel they need the same slope so both equations have 7/3.

3. Plug in given values --> 5 = (7/3)(6) + b

4. Solve for b --> b = 5 - 14    b = -9

5. New line --> y = (7/3)x - 9
