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

Gwar [14]
So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x

ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x

so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6

6 tails added


total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40



6 tails added
40 total coins
