40 ounces is 2.5 pounds because each pound is 16 ounces
Simplifying
2ab + 4ab = 0
Combine like terms: 2ab + 4ab = 6ab
6ab = 0
Solving
6ab = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '6'.
ab = 0
Simplifying
ab = 0
The population of the bacteria 96 minutes from now is 12.
In a table it's EXAMPLE: Cars/Drivers the cars is x and the drivers is y(y-intercept). In an equation, EXAMPLE using y=mx+b the b is the y-int., and in a graph it is (x,y) the y being the y-int.
