To find y, you need to get it by itself. Ask yourself, what is being done to y, then to undo that, do the opposite. For example, if 3 was added to y, you would need to subtract 3 to cancel out the 3. In this case, what is being done to y? It's being divided by 3. So, you multiply by 3 to cancel that out. Whatever you do to one side of an equation, you also have to do to the other. So,

8.5= $\frac{y}{3}$ Multiply both sides by 3

3(8.5) = 3( $\frac{y}{3}$ ) multiply on the left side, and on the right side the 3s cancel out

25.5=y

The amount of bacteria in a petri dish increases at a rate proportional to the amount present. At time t=0, the amount of bacter

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to be used is N=N0e^(kt)

N0 - amount of bacteria at time 0, which is 10g

t=2, 30g

30 = 10*e^(k*2)

3 = e^(2k)

2k = ln3

k = 0.5ln3

At t=6:

N = 10*e^(0.5ln3*6)

N = 10e^(3ln3)

N = 10e^ln27

N = 10*27 =270

So the amount of bacteria at t=6 is 270
