Answer: This represented a exponential growth function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth is demonstrated when the rate of change of the value of any mathematical function[the change per unit of time] is proportional to the function's present value, resulting in its value at any time being an exponential function of time or becomes a function in which the time value is the exponent.
Given : A function has a constant tripling time. So it is highly increasing (exponentially) with the time i.e. the function is exponential function.
1. Distribute the -2. multiply-2 with 5x and 8. it will be -10x-16=14+6x. For me, i make small numbers negative or positive than big ones. Add 16 to both sides. it will be -10x=30+6x. Subtract 6x. -10x-6x=-16x. Divide both sides by 16. x=30/16= 1 and 14/16
