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.

Find the side length of triangle.
Llana [10]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the equation:

3x+12=4x+8

12=4x-3x+8

12=x+8

12-8=x

4=x

x=4

The way i got this answer was by solving the equation using the following steps. Since you're solving for one side and have two different equations, put an equal sign in between the two equations to get the equation set up above. Then you need to have the x variable on one side, instead of both sides, so you take 3x and subtract it from both sides, leaving x on one side, because 4x-3x is equal to 1x, or just x. Then we need to have what is not attached to a variable on the other side to make it easier to solve, so you would need to subtract 8 from both sides to get rid of the 8 on the side with the variable, because if you subtract 12 from both sides, it will just make it more confusing to solve, and then 12-8 is equal to 4, so you get x is equal to 4.
