I was stuck on this problem too but I finally figured it out. One major hint was let x= the number of DAYS. So taking both of the growth rates into account the solution is this.

Colby:
He starts with 50 bacteria so that is your a value or y intercept. Keeping in mind x is the number of days you divide the number of hours in a day (24) by the time it takes to double (2 hours) and get 12. So the equation for Colby is y=50*2^12x

Jaquan:

You do the same thing except with Jaquan's part of the equation and divide 24 by 3 to get 8. The solution for Jaquan is y=50*2^8x

25 ounces of guacamole are still expected to be available from batch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Quantity of guacamole in one serving = 2.2 ounces

Quantity of guacamole in one batch = 80 ounces

Quantity of guacamole in 25 servings = 2.2*25 = 55 ounces

Guacamole left = Quantity in batch - Quantity of 25 servings

Guacamole left = 80-55 = 25\ ounces\\

25 ounces of guacamole are still expected to be available from batch.

3 times what equal 19?
MissTica

Answer:

6 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times what equals 19 can be in the form of an equation as shown below. It shows that the value we are finding for is unknown, therefore it is a variable. A variable is the unknown value in an equation.

Equation: 3x = 19

With the equation in hand, we can now solve the problem easily.

3x = 19

Carry the 3 to the 19(Carry over the like terms across leaving the variable or the unknown)

x = 19÷3

x = 6.33333 or 6 1/3

To check if the answer was correct:

3 × 6 1/3 = 19

You regain the answer <em>19</em>
