Answer:

a=18

Step-by-step explanation:

2a+50=5a-4\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}50\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\2a+50-50=5a-4-50\\Simplify\\2a=5a-54\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}5a\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\2a-5a=5a-54-5a\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\-3a=-54\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3\\\frac{-3a}{-3}=\frac{-54}{-3}\\Simplify\\\frac{-3a}{-3}=\frac{-54}{-3}\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{-3a}{-3}:\quad a\\\frac{-3a}{-3}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\\=\frac{3a}{3}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{3}{3}=1

=a\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{-54}{-3}:\quad 18\\\frac{-54}{-3}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\\=\frac{54}{3}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{54}{3}=18\\=18\\a=18

I'm not really sure what to do.

I’m not sure if this is right but this looks a bit like chemistry so maybe try to get from minutes to seconds as it becomes an ‘S’ which I’m assuming is seconds? so basically try to do dimensional analysis with it and see if that works. Don’t forget to square it though, that’ll throw you off.

Half of the students in an International School are Americans. One third of the remaining students are Europeans, and the rest a
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

450 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = number of students

1/2 are Americans  1/2s are Americans

s -1/2s = number of students left

1/2 s = number of students left

1/3 of the students left are Europeans

1/3 (1/2s) = 1/6s  are Europeans

The rest are Australians = 150

Students = Americans + Europeans + Australians

   s          =   1/2s          +    1/6s    + 150

Combine like terms

s    = 1/2*3/3 *s + 1/6s +150

s = 3/6s + 1/6s +150

s = 4/6s + 150

Subtract 4/6s from each side

s -4/6s = 150

6/6s - 4/6s = 150

2/6s = 150

1/3s = 150

Multiply each side by 3

3* 1/3s = 150*3

s = 450

There are 450 students

A scientist is studying bacteria and records the number of bacteria over time. The scientists determines that the function N(t)=
Cloud [144]

Answer:

(A) The number of bacteria is originally 300 and increases by 30% every hour

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the function should actually read:

N(t)=300\cdot 1.30^t

(i.e., there should be a "t" in the exponent. if this is not the case please disregard my answer).

According to the above exponential function, the initial amount 300 grows as (1+0.3)*300=300+0.3*300. In other words it increases by 30% every hour (t).

Your answer choice (A) is likely a candidate, except I am missing "every hour" at the end (again, am assuming this was omitted by mistake)
