The number of viruses was 4000 times greater than number of protozoa.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of protozoa =
Number of viruses =
Let,
x be the number of times number of viruses is greater than number of protozoa.
Number of viruses = Number of time * Number of protozoa
Dividing both sides by
The number of viruses was 4000 times greater than number of protozoa.

The number three (3) when decreased by fifteen (15) is four (4) times its opposite.
In this exercise, you're required to solve for an unknown number by using a variable to represent the number in relation to the known variables (constants) and representing it as an algebraic expression.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
Rearranging the algebraic expression by (collecting like terms), we have;
Dividing both sides by 5, we have;
<em>x = 3</em>
<em>Therefore, number </em><em>three</em><em> </em><em>(3) </em><em>when </em><em>decreased</em><em> by </em><em>fifteen (15)</em><em> is </em><em>four (4) </em><em>times its </em><em>opposite.</em>
