3(x-2)+4(2x-3)
Use distributive property
3(x)-3(2)+4(2x)-4(3)
=3x-6+8x-12
Combining like term
3x+8x-6-12
=11x-18. As a result, 11x-18 is another expression that equivalent for 3(x-2)+4(2x-3). Hope it help!

A certain type of bacteria reproduces so that after x hours there are 15x cells. What single power represents he size relationsh

algol [13]

Answer:

let's say cells is c and hours are x that means there are 15 cells each hour. the equation for that is c=15x

after 08 hours the cells have multiplied 8 times their original size. meaning that the equation changes to this: c=15x x=8 c= 15(8)

x equals 8 at that time.. literally

ok the cells have multiplied and now there are 120 cells in total

then after one day the cells have multiplied over 12 times afterwards. now x equals 24. the equation would look a little like this:

c=15x x=24 c= 15(24)

there are 360 cells now.
