The number of bacteria present after 15 hours is 18928
<h3>How to determine the
exponential equation?</h3>
An exponential equation is represented as;
y = ab^x
Where
a = y, when x = 0
From the table, we have:
y = 1796 when x = 0
So, we have:
y = 1796b^x
Also, we have the point (1, 2097)
This gives
2097 = 1796b^1
Divide by 1796
b = 1.17
Substitute b = 1.17 in y = 1796b^x
y = 1796(1.17)^x
This means that the exponential equation is y = 1796(1.17)^x
After 15 hours, we have:
y = 1796(1.17)^15
Evaluate
y = 18928
Hence, the number of bacteria present after 15 hours is 18928

My answer-
Simplifying
5x + -14 = 8x + 4 Reorder the terms:
-14 + 5x = 8x + 4
Reorder the terms:
-14 + 5x = 4 + 8x Solving
-14 + 5x = 4 + 8x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.
-14 + 5x + -8x = 4 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x = -3x
-14 + -3x = 4 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
-14 + -3x = 4 + 0
-14 + -3x = 4
Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + 14 + -3x = 4 + 14
Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -3x = 4 + 14
-3x = 4 + 14 Combine like terms: 4 + 14 = 18
-3x = 18 <span>
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -6
Simplifying
x = -6
