Plug y=-5 into the equation
6x+8(-5)=-22
6x-40=-22
6x=-22+40
6x=18
x=3
Answer:
The statement means that after 2 hours, there are 90 bacteria in the culture.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of bacteria after x hours is given by the function states in the exercise. We have that f(x) will be the number of bacteria after x hours.
Which statement best describes the meaning of the equation f(2) = 90 ?
The statement means that after 2 hours, there are 90 bacteria in the culture.
First task:
To determine this we need to make difference between system that doesn't have solution and system that has infinite number of solution. If when solving equations we get 0 = 0 that means system has infinite number of equations.
If we get 0 = some number that means that system doesn't have solution.
Multiplying first equation of second system by 2 and adding it to second equation we get 0=0 which means that this system has infinite number of solutions.
Answer is second system
Second task:
For this we need to set a system of equations and solve it. System looks like this:
x + y = 224
x*12 + y*8=2520
-------------------------
x represents older than 18 and "y" 18 and younger than that.
first equation we multiply with -12 and sum it with second.
-4y = -168
y=168/4 = 42
Answer is 42.
240 Liters total volume
Let's make ;
x = number of containers
v = volume of one container
vx = 240
v = 240/x
