Answer: a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, open up the brackets, and solve it

-12a -42 = -22 -8a. (-6 x 2a, and -6 x 7)

bring the -8a to the left side, so that all the a’s are together

-12a -42 + 8a = -22 (add -42 on both sides like we did with -8a)

-12a + 8a = -22 + 42

solve

-4a = 20

divide -4 on both sides

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you go mate

PEMDAS: Parenthesis,Exponent,Multiplication,Division,Addition,Subtraction

Step 1

-6(2a + 7) = -22- 8a Equation/Question

Step 2

-6(2a + 7) = -22- 8a Remove parenthesis

-12a-42=-8a-22

Step 3

-12a-42=-8a-22 Add 8a to the sides

-4a-42=-22

Step 4

-4a-42=-22 Subtract 42

4a=20

Step 5

4a=20 Divide both sides by 4

answer

-5

Model Exponential Growth Question :A sample of bacteria is growing at a continuously compounding rate. The sample triples in 10

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The number of bacteria $B$ after $d$ days is given by

$B = B_0 (3)^{\frac{1}{10} d}$

where $B_0$ is the initial number of bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacteria $B$ in the sample triples every 10 days, this means after the first 10th day, the number of bacteria is

$B = B_0 *3,$

where $B_0$ is the initial number of bacteria in the sample.

After the 2nd 10th days, the number of bacteria is

$B = (B_0 *3)*3$

after the 3rd day,

$B =( B_0 *3*3)*3$

and so on.

Thus, the formula we get for the number of bacteria after the nth 10-days is

$B = B_0 (3)^n$

where $n$ is is the nth 10-days.

Since, $n$ is 10 days, we have

$d =10n$

$n =\dfrac{1}{10}$

Substituting that into $B = B_0 (3)^n$ , we get:

$\boxed{ B = B_0 (3)^{\frac{1}{10} d}}$
