Given
See attachment for complete question
Required
The bacteria with the smaller initial population
The initial population is at x = 0
For bacteria A;
when
For bacteria B, we have:
Substitute 0 for x
So; when x = 0
and
Because; 500 < 600
We can conclude that B has a smaller initial population of 500
Answer:
x = 49
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
=
( cross- multiply )
5(x - 16) = 3(x + 6) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
5x - 80 = 3x + 18 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
2x - 80 = 18 ( add 80 to both sides )
2x = 98 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 49
