X + (x + 10) = 154
2 x + 10 = 154
2 x = 154-10 = 144
x = 72 (ans)
Not sure if it’s right
To write this equation in simplest form, we simply need to combine all like terms. The like terms in this particular expression are the terms with an n-variable and the terms with no variable. So we can combine them to simplify our expression.
5n - 6 + n - 1
First step, we can reorder our terms so that like terms are near each other
5n + n - 6 - 1
Now we can combine easily
(5n + n) - (6 - 1)
6n - 5
And that is your simplified expression.
5n - 6 + n - 1 in simplest form is 6n - 5.
Hope that helped! =)
We use P = i•e^rt for exponential population growth, where P = end population, i = initial population, r = rate, and t = time
P = 2•i = 2•15 = 30, so 30 = 15 [e^(r•1)],
or 30/15 = 2 = e^(r)
ln 2 = ln (e^r)
.693 = r•(ln e), ln e = 1, so r = .693
Now that we have our doubling rate of .693, we can use that r and our t as the 12th hour is t=11, because there are 11 more hours at the end of that first hour
So our initial population is again 15, and P = i•e^rt
P = 15•e^(.693×11) = 15•e^(7.624)
P = 15•2046.94 = 30,704
The answer is 1. just subtract the fractions and boom. answer.
