There would be 256 bacteria after one day.
There are 24 hours in a day, and the amount of bacteria doubles every 3 hours, so it will double:
24 / 3 = 8 times.
To find the current amount we could use an equation such as:
1 * 2^8 = x
Finally, solve for the number of bacteria:
1 * 2^8 = x
1 * (2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2) = x
1 * (4 * 4 * 4 * 4) = x
1 * (16 * 16) = x
1 * 256 = x
x = 256
The answer is
-2,4
basically all of the valid x values
Answer:
x=3, y=4. (3, 4).
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=7
x+2y=11
--------------
-x-y=-7
x+2y=11
--------------
y=4
x+4=7
x=7-4
x=3
