I think the equation would be 5m+n=17 I might be wrong so sorry but that is what I think it is
Answer:
A culture started with 5000 bacteria. after 4 hours, it grew to 6000.
=> Increasing rate = difference/time = (6000 - 5000)/4 = 250 bacteria/hour
=> The number of bacteria after 17 hours:
N = 5000 + 250 x 17 = 9250 bacteria
Hope this helps!

In linear change, the two variables keep increasing or decreasing at the same speed.
So x is the number
x time 97.3%=36
percent measn parts out of 100 so
97.3%=97.3/100=9.73/10=0.973/1=0.973
x times 0.973=36
divide both sides by 0.973
x=36.9989...
answer is aprox 36.9
