Each time x increases by 2 (eg: from x = -3 to x = -1), the value of y increases by 7 (eg: y = 9.5 to y = 16.5)
Change in y = 7
change in x = 2
Slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = 7/2 = 3.5
This all means that we have a linear equation
Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100 = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100 = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42 = 3654.97 = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Group like terms:
Simplify the arithmetic:
Add 7 to both sides:
Simplify the arithmetic:
Simplify the arithmetic:
Divide both sides by 3:
Simplify the fraction:
Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:
Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor and the answer will be:
You just have to plug in the numbers and solve
7(-2)(-15)
7(30)
210
