Answer:

Rewrite the first equation as x = 36 – 3y.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 36 (1)

4x + 5y = 9 (2)

Using substitution method

From (1)

x = 36 - 3y

Substitute x = 36 - 3y into (2)

4x + 5y = 9

4(36 - 3y) + 5y = 9

144 - 12y + 5y = 9

- 12y + 5y = 9 - 144

-7y = -135

y = -135 / -7

y = 19.3

There is an error with the second equation, 4x + 5y can not be equal to 9

Nevertheless, the first step when solving by substitution is:

Rewrite the first equation as

x = 36 – 3y.

Frank suspects a function he created to predict the population of bacteria is flawed. His data indicates the population began wi
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

B(h) = 150(1.20)^{h}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Frank's data, the number of bacteria grows by 20 percent every hour and it starts with 150 cells.

Therefore, the function to predict the population of bacteria is given by

B(h) = 150(1 + \frac{20}{100} )^{h} {Where h is the number of hours passed}

⇒ B(h) = 150(1.20)^{h}

Therefore, Frank's function that he created to predict the population of bacteria is flawed. (Answer)

Graph the line that contains the point (-5,-3) and had a slope of -2
Ipatiy [6.2K]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: Is the slope

b: Is the cut-off point with the y axis

According to the data of the statement we have to:

m = -2

Then, the equation is of the form:

y = -2x + b

We substitute the point(x, y): (- 5, -3)and find "b":

-3 = -2 (-5) + b\\-3 = 10 + b\\-3-10 = b\\b = -13

Finally, the equation is:

y = -2x-13

To graph we place the points (-5, -3)and(0, -13) on the coordinate axis and join the points by a line.

ANswer:

y = -2x-13

The graphic is attached.
