Answer:

Amy still owes her mother $38.

76 - 14 - 24

76 - 14 = 62

62 - 24 = 38

The table shows the predicted growth of particular bacterium after various numbers of hours. Write an explicit formula for the s

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D

-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

In the first hour, the number of bacteria is 22

In the second hour,the number of bacteria is 44

It looks like the formula is some multiple of 22

That means you should pick D

Problem 2

n = 12

a = 15

d = - 4

an= 15 + (n - 1)*d

a12 = 15 + 11*(-4)

a12 = 15 - 44

a12 = - 29

For what value of a should you solve the system of elimination?

SIZIF [17.4K]

$\begin{bmatrix}3x+5y=10\\ 2x+ay=4\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}3x+5y=10\mathrm{\:by\:}2: 6x+10y=20$
$\mathrm{Multiply\:}2x+ay=4\mathrm{\:by\:}3: 3ay+6x=12$

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+10y=20\\ 6x+3ay=12\end{bmatrix}$

6x + 3ay = 12
-
6x + 10y = 20
/
3a - 10y = -8

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+10y=20\\ 3a-10y=-8\end{bmatrix}$

$3a-10y=-8 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Subtract\:}3a\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$
$3a-10y-3a=-8-3a$

$\mathrm{Simplify} \ \textgreater \ -10y=-8-3a \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-10$
$\frac{-10y}{-10}=-\frac{8}{-10}-\frac{3a}{-10}$

Simplify more.

$\frac{-10y}{-10} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}: \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b} \ \textgreater \ \frac{10y}{10}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{10}{10}=1 \ \textgreater \ y$

$-\frac{8}{-10}-\frac{3a}{-10} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \ \frac{-8-3a}{-10}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}: \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b} \ \textgreater \ -\frac{-3a-8}{10} \ \textgreater \ y=-\frac{-8-3a}{10}$

$\mathrm{For\:}6x+10y=20\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}\ \:y=\frac{8}{10-3a} \ \textgreater \ 6x+10\cdot \frac{8}{10-3a}=20$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\cdot \:10=80 \ \textgreater \ \frac{80}{10-3a}$

$6x+\frac{80}{10-3a}=20 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{80}{10-3a}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$
$6x+\frac{80}{10-3a}-\frac{80}{10-3a}=20-\frac{80}{10-3a}$

$\mathrm{Simplify} \ \textgreater \ 6x=20-\frac{80}{10-3a} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}6 \ \textgreater \ \frac{6x}{6}=\frac{20}{6}-\frac{\frac{80}{10-3a}}{6}$

$\frac{6x}{6} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{6}=1 \ \textgreater \ x$

$\frac{20}{6}-\frac{\frac{80}{10-3a}}{6} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \ \frac{20-\frac{80}{-3a+10}}{6}$

$Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCD \ \textgreater \ \frac{20\left(-3a+10\right)}{-3a+10}-\frac{80}{-3a+10}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}: \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$
$\frac{20\left(-3a+10\right)-80}{-3a+10} \ \textgreater \ \frac{\frac{20\left(-3a+10\right)-80}{-3a+10}}{6} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}: \frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a}=\frac{b}{c\:\cdot \:a}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}: \left(-a\right)=-a \ \textgreater \ \frac{10\left(-a+2\right)}{-3a+10}$

$Therefore\;our\;solutions\;are\; y=\frac{8}{10-3a},\:x=\frac{10\left(-a+2\right)}{-3a+10}$

Hope this helps!
