Let x equal Ahmad’s age.
Since John is 8 years younger than Ahmad, the equation would be as follows:

x+x-8=38

Solve for x:

2x-8=38
38+8=46
2x=46
x=23

23 is Ahmad’s age, subtract 8 from this and you’ll get 15 for John’s age.

Which statements help explain this result? Check all that apply.

Answer:

The bottle was 1/2 full at 11:35 a.m. and doubled again after 5 minutes.

The bottle was 1/4 full at 11:30 a.m. and doubled twice after 10 minutes.

Exponential growth involves a constant multiplicative rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

All that apply in the statements are as follows:

(a) The bottle was ½ full at 11:35 a.m. and doubled again after five minutes, which indicates that the bottle doubled at 11:40 am

(b) The bottle was ¼ full at 11:30 a.m. and doubled twice after 10 minutes. These means that the bottle was ½ full at 11:35 a.m. (i.e. five minutes ago the bottle was at ¼ full at 11:30 am, after five minutes, the which is was ½ full at 11:35 am but later became full at 11:40 am)

(c) Exponential growth involves a constant multiplicative rate of change (1.e. the rates of growth is twice every five minutes)
