The bacteria took more time to double from 1 cell to a bottle full of cells. Once the bottle was full, each cell in the full bottle doubled, causing an additional bottle to be filled in 5 minutes. Then the 2 full bottles doubled in the next 5 minutes, causing all 3 bottles to be full.

Bacteria growth occurs exponentially; bacteria divides into 2 every t minutes (similar to the penny doubling every day story). If one gets filled, and the contents divides once, there will be enough for 2 bottles; when these two are ready to divide, there will be enough for 4. This growth process begins very slowly - 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32; but it soon speeds up greatly, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048.

-25+t=-44 solve using addition principle. The solution is t=
love history [14]

Explanation:

First, add by 25 both sides of an equation.

-25+t+25=-44+25

Then, simplify by equation and add/subtract by the numbers.

44-25=19

*The answer must be have a negative sign.

\boxed{t=-19}

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Have a great day!

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two legs that have the same length. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle. Now taking this into account, we know that:

2L + B = 14 units

Where:

L is the measure of one leg

B is the measure of the base

Since two legs are the same and the base is 1 less, this means the measure of each leg would be:

B = L -1

Now we have two equations:

2L + B = 14 units

B = L- 1

We plug one equation into the other and make 1 equation:

2L + (L-1) = 14 units

Get rid of the parentheses:

2L + L - 1 = 14

Combine like terms:

3L - 1 = 14

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:

3L - 1 + 1 = 14 + 1

3L = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

3L/3 = 15/3

L = 5

So the length of a leg is 5 units

Let's check!

B = L - 1

B = 5 - 1

B = 4

Then we use that to solve for the perimeter:

2L + B

2(5) + 4

10 + 4 = 14
