3x was subtracted from the left side, but 3x was subtracted from the right side. The Subtract Property of Equality states that you can subtract the same number from each side and the equation will remain true. But 3x and 3 are not the same number (unless x is 1).

x = -8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

$(7x+3x)+(21)=5$
$10x + 21 = 5$

Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.

$10x + 21 - 21 = 5 - 21$
$10x = -16$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.

$\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{-16}{10}$
$x = -\frac{8}{5}$

A scientist has a sample of bacteria that initially contains 10 million microbes. They observe the sample and finds that the num

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

M(t) = 6.7 * 10⁷ (67 million)

Minutes (t) =55

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write an exponential equation that represents M, the total number of bacterial microbes in millions, as a function of t, the number of minutes the sample has been observed.

For answering this question, we will use the following formula:

M(t) = B₀ * g ^(t/m), where:

•M(t) represents the total number of bacterial microbes in millions.

• B₀ represents the initial population of bacteria in millions.

• g represents the growth factor.

• t represents the total number of minutes we will observe the bacteria growing.

• m represents the time in minutes it takes to the growth factor g to occur.

2. Then, determine how much time, to the nearest minute, will pass until there are 67 million bacterial microbes.

M(t) = B₀ * g ^(t/m)

Replacing with the values we know:

6.7 * 10⁷ = 10⁷ * 2 ^(t/20)

6.7 = 2 ^(t/20) (Dividing by 10⁷ at both sides)

ln 6.7 = ln 2 ^(t/20)

ln 6.7 = t/20 ln 2

ln 6.7/ ln 2 = t/20

t = ln 6.7/ln 2 * 20

t = 2.74 * 20

t = 54.88

t ≅ 55 (rounding to the nearest minute)
