Answer:Hi,

Let the number be x

Twice the number is 2x

Five less than twice the number is 2x-5, which is given as 9

Therefore, 2x-5 = 9

or, 2x = 9+5

or, 2x = 14

or x=7

Thus the number is 7.

Cheers

Find the missing side in the similar figures below

Lerok [7]

Answer:

a. 28.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the theorem of similarity, the following equation can be generated:

$\frac{x}{12} = \frac{25 + 35}{25}$

Solve for x

$\frac{x}{12} = \frac{60}{25}$

Cross multiply

$x*25 = 60*12$

$25x = 720$

Divide both sides by 25

x = 28.8

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 800,000 to 500,000 in 6 hours after the administration of

kupik [55]

Answer:

We can assume that the decline in the population is an exponential decay.

An exponential decay can be written as:

P(t) = A*b^t

Where A is the initial population, b is the base and t is the variable, in this case, number of hours.

We know that: A = 800,000.

P(t) = 800,000*b^t

And we know that after 6 hours, the popuation was 500,000:

p(6h) = 500,000 = 800,000*b^6

then we have that:

b^6 = 500,000/800,000 = 5/8

b = (5/8)^(1/6) = 0.925

Then our equation is:

P(t) = 800,000*0.925^t

Now, the population after 24 hours will be:

P(24) = 800,000*0.925^24 = 123,166
