For number 3.
You add 8 to both sides as you need to separate the variable
4x-8=32
+8 +8
4x=32
now divide 32 by 4
x=8
for number 4
you use pemdas to multiply the parenthisis
2(x-5)=-20
(2•x)-(2•5)
2x-10=-20
then add 10 to both sides
2x-10=-20
+10 +10
2x=10
divide 10 by two
x=5
<span>5ab^2 + 10ab
5ab^2 = 5ab *(b)
10ab = 5ab *(2)
so GCF of </span>5ab^2 + 10ab = 5ab
Answer: A) The initial number of bacteria is 350.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth equation:
, where A=Initial value, r= growth rate. (i)
Given: A bacteria sample can be modeled by the function
which gives the number of bacteria in the sample at the end of x days.
Here, 
Compare this equation to (i) , we get A = 350 and r= 0.20 = 20% (growth rate)
So, the best interpretation of one of the values in this function are:
A) The initial number of bacteria is 350.
