Solve 9x-14-2x=5(2x-6)

1 answer:

8 0

$9x-14-2x=5(2x-6)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(9x-2x)-14=(5)(2x)+(5)(-6)\\\\7x-14=10x-30\qquad\text{add 14 to both sides}\\\\7x=10x-16\qquad\text{subtract 10x from both sides}\\\\-3x=-16\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{16}{3}}$

Answer:

They are only equal on day 0, both having 10 population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the bacteria on the counter is initially measured at 5 and doubles every 3 days we can generate the following geometric equation:

$f(x)=10*2^{\frac{x}{3} }$

Given the bacteria on the stove is measured at 10 and doubles every 4 days we can create another equation:

$f(x)=10*2^{\frac{x}{4} }$

To find how many days it will take for the bacteria population to equal the same lets set both equations equal to eachother:

$10*2^{x/3}=10*2^{x/4}$

Divide both sides by 10

$2^{x/3}=2^{x/4}$

Since both exponents have the same base we can set the exponents equal to eachother and solve for x:

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x on the left side

$x=\frac{3x}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 4 to remove fraction

$4x=3x$

Subtract 3x to isolate x on the left side

$x=0$

Plug x into one of our original equations

$f(0)=10*2^{0/3}$

Solve

$f(0)=10$
