Let the amount Tom does = x

Then Larissa’s time would be 3x( 3 times the amount of Tom)

And Neal would also be 3x

The total of the 3 is 84 hours so as an equation you have:

X + 3x + 3x = 84

Combine like terms

7x = 84

Divide both sides by 7

X = 84/7

X = 12 hours

Tom = x, so Tom exercised for 12 hours.

The population of a bacteria sample doubles every 6 hours. How long would it take for the population to triple?

seraphim [82]

The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.

I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.

the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.

When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours

The Frosty Ice-Cream Shop sells sundaes for $2 and banana splits for $3. On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than

svlad2 [7]

The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts

Solution:

Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold

Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold

Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2

Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3

On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156

Therefore,

Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold

a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1

Also, given that they made $ 156

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156

$a \times 2+b \times 3 = 156$

2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2

2(8 + b) + 3b = 156

16 + 2b + 3b = 156

16 + 5b = 156

5b = 156 - 16

5b = 140

Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1

a = 8 + 28

Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
