Answer:

<h2>After 5 hours</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a scientist counts 35 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour and the function y = 35 ∙ 3x models the number of bacteria after x hours, in order to estimate when there will be about 550 bacteria in the culture we will substitute y = 550 into the modeled equation and calculate the value of x as shown;

If y = 35*3x

when y = 550

550 = 35*3x

Dividing both sides by 35;

550/35 = 35*3x/35

3x = 550/35

x = 550/3*35

x = 550/105

x = 5.24

This means that there will be 550 bacteria in the culture after approximately 5 hours

2z - 6 = 2(2 + 2) - 10
Blababa [14]

Answer:

z=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2z-6=2(2+2)-10  Distribute.

2z-6=4+4-10      Combine like terms.

2z-6=-2              Add 6 on both sides.

   <u>+6 +6</u>

2z=4                   Divide by 2 on both sides.

<u>/2 /2</u>

z=2

Hope this helps! Have a great day ^^

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

0.0105

Step-by-step explanation:

given that 30% of all houses need a paint job. Also, 15% of all houses need both a paint job and a new roof. Further, 7% of all houses that need a new roof also need new windows.

If total houses are 100, then 30 require a paint along.  15 require both paint and new roof.

Out of 15 houses which require new roof 7% need new windows

i.e. no of houses which need new windows = 15*7%\\=1.05

If there are total 100 houses, 1.05 houses require a new window

So probability that a randomly selectede house needs a new window

= 0.0105
