Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of son be x

x+x+20=40

2x=40-20

x=20/2

x=10

since age of a father is 20 more than his son's so,

x+20=father's age

10+20

therefore fathers age is thirty years and son age is 10 years

Answer:

-12 = 3x - 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the graph are (-4, 0) and (0, 3). Moving from the first point to the second, we see x (the 'run') increase by 4 and y (the 'rise') increase by 3. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 3/4.

Using the point slope form, we get:

y - 3 = (3/4)(x - 0), or

4y - 12 = 3x, or

-12 = 3x - 4y (which is in Standard Form).

4^2-6(2^x)-16=0 solve for x

ahrayia [7]

Assuming that 4^2-6(2^x)-16=0 is correct, we can rearrange it as:

-6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0

Are you sure it's not 6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0 ?

If 6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0 is correct, then

6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=16 - 16 = 0, that is, 6(2^x) = 0. Then x = 0 (answer)

A culture started with 5000 bacteria after 5 hours it grew to 6500 bacteria predict how many bacteria will be present after 16 h

postnew [5]

Answer:

After 16 hours bacterial count will be 11600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacterial growth is always an exponential growth in a given culture.So the formula for the growth will be

Final counts of bacteria = Initial counts × $(rate of growth)^{time}$
