Remmeber you can do anything to an equaiton as long as you do it to btoh sides
5-6(a+2)=7+a
distribute
5-6a-12=7+a
add like terms
-6a-7=7+a
add 6a both sides
-7=7+7a
minus 7 both sides
-14=7a
divide by 7
-2=a
a=-2
<span> A: y=2x 15 (or whatever variables you choose to represent the colony growth and time)
B: y=2(3.5) 15;
22 colonies
C: substitute 584 with y into the original equation, so:
584=2x 15
569=2x
284.5=x; therefore, after 284.5 hours</span> Hope this helps! :D
Answer:
Square root of 35 or 5.9160797831
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original length of the square be x cm.
(x+5) X (x-2) = 60
Or, x^2-2x+5x-10-60 = 0
Or, x^2+3x-70=0
Or, x^2+10x-7x-70=0
Or, x(x+10)-7(x+10)=0
Or, (x-7)(x+10)=0
Therefore, x=7 or x=-10 (rejected as the length cannot be negative)
Ans: Area of the square=l^2=7^2=49 square meters.
