(3x+15) (6x+3) m<1 is
Allisa [31]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 15 = 6x + 3

Reorder the terms:

15 + 3x = 6x + 3

Reorder the terms:

15 + 3x = 3 + 6x

Solving

15 + 3x = 3 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

15 + 3x + -6x = 3 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 3x + -6x = -3x

15 + -3x = 3 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

15 + -3x = 3 + 0

15 + -3x = 3

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + -3x = 3 + -15

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + -3x = 3 + -15

-3x = 3 + -15

Combine like terms: 3 + -15 = -12

-3x = -12

Divide each side by '-3'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4

A biologist is studying a bacteria population that initially contains 10^3 bacteria. In the lab, the population doubles every we
iragen [17]

Answer: 8000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the expression 10³ × 2^w models the population of the bacteria after w weeks.

The number of bacteria that will be present in 3 weeks will then be:

= 10³ × 2^w

= 10³ × 2³

= 1000 × 8

= 8000 bacterias

The length of a rectangle is 5 ft less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 50 ft². Find the dimensions
Mariulka [41]

Answer

Length = 10 ft

Width = 5 ft

Explanation

Area of the rectangle given = 50 ft²

Let the width of the rectangle be x

So this means the length of the rectangle will be 3x - 5

What to find:

The dimensions of the rectangle.

Step-by-step solution:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

i.e A = L x W

Put A = 50, L = 3x - 5, W = x into the formula.

\begin{gathered} 50=(3x-5)x \\ 50=3x^2-5x \\ 3x^2-5x-50=0 \end{gathered}

The quadratic equation can now be solve using factorization method:

\begin{gathered} 3x^2-5x-50=0 \\ 3x^2-15x+10x-50=0 \\ 3x(x-5)+10(x-5)=0 \\ (3x+10)(x-5)=0 \\ 3x+10=0\text{ }or\text{ }x-5=0 \\ 3x=-10\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \\ x=-\frac{10}{3}\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \end{gathered}

Since the dimension can not be negative, hence the value of x will be = 5.

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle will be:

\begin{gathered} Length=3x-5=3(5)-5=15-5=10\text{ }ft \\  \\ Width=x=5\text{ }ft \end{gathered}
