It would be 70=20x.
You would multiply 20 (snake’s speed) by x to get the cheetah’s maximum speed because the question says that the cheetah is 20 times faster than the snake
Answer: b.14
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two shelves, the top shelf
and the bottom shelf
.
Now, firstly we are told the top shelf has 10 more than 1/3 the number of books on the bottom shelf. This can be expressed as:
(1)
Then, we are told there are 12 books on the bottom shelf:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3)
(4)
(5) This is the number of books on the top shelf
Hence, the correct option is b.
multiply the top equation by 3, multiply the bottom equation by 4, then subtract the bottom equation from the top equation
multiply the top equation by 3, multiply the bottom equation by -2, then add the equations
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.
Answer choice B is correct
