Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Left Hand Side = -2(7a + 9b) = -14a - 18b
Comparing it with Right Hand Side, ? = -18
To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t,

. This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375

Answer is choice C) 4x^2-3x+9
You list off the terms in a way where the largest exponent term comes first, then the second largest exponent is next, and so forth. Note how the last term 9 is the same as 9x^0. The term 3x is equivalent to 3x^1. So what we really have is 4x^2-3x^1+9x^0. The exponents count down: 2, 1, 0
