X - 3y = -8
x + 3y = 8
--------------- Add the equations
2x = =
x = 0
Plug zero back in to either equation and solve for y.
x - 3y = -8
0 - 3y = -8
-3y = -8
divide both sides by -3
y = 8/3
(0, 8/3)
ONE SOLUTION
Based on the conditions given above, the number of bacteria at any time t (in hours) is calculated by the equation,
at = (a1)(2^t/2)
where a1 is the initial number of bacteria and at is the number at any time t. Substituting the givens,
a6 = (103)(2^6/2) = 824
Thus, there are 824 bacteria after 6 hours.
