Answer:

let's say cells is c and hours are x that means there are 15 cells each hour. the equation for that is c=15x

after 08 hours the cells have multiplied 8 times their original size. meaning that the equation changes to this: c=15x          x=8    c= 15(8)

x equals 8 at that time.. literally

ok the cells have multiplied and now there are 120 cells in total

then after one day the cells have multiplied over 12 times afterwards. now x equals 24. the equation would look a little like this:

c=15x      x=24    c= 15(24)

there are 360 cells now.

Explain in your own words the relationship between x=8 with x=24 in the equation.

Gemiola [76]

a) The solution for the equation 2x + 16 = 5x + 4  is x=4.

b) The solution for the equation 3x − 5 = 2x + 14 is x=19.

c) The solution for the equation 5x − 5 = x + 15 is x=5.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>a) The given equation is  2x + 16 = 5x + 4 </u>

  • From the above equation, it can be found that the equation consists of x terms and constant terms.
  • Therefore, bring all the x terms on one side and the constant terms on other side of the equation.
  • This gives the simplified form of the equation to solve for x value.

⇒ 16-4 = 5x-2x

⇒ 12 = 3x

⇒ x = 12/3

⇒ x = 4

The solution for the given equation is x=4.

<u>To check, substitute x=4 in the equation :</u>

2(4) + 16 = 5(4) + 4

8+16 = 20+4

24 = 24

Therefore, the solution x=4 satisfies the equation 2x + 16 = 5x + 4

Similarly,

<u>b) The given equation is 3x − 5 = 2x + 14</u>

⇒ 3x-2x = 14+5

⇒ x = 19

The solution for the given equation is x=19.

<u>To check, substitute x=19 in the equation :</u>

3(19) - 5 = 2(19) + 14

57-16 = 38+14

52 = 52

Therefore, the solution x=19 satisfies the equation 3x − 5 = 2x + 14

Similarly,

<u>c) The given equation is 5x − 5 = x + 15</u>

⇒ 5x-x = 15+5

⇒ 4x = 20

⇒ x = 20/4

⇒ x = 5

The solution for the given equation is x=5.

<u>To check, substitute x=5 in the equation :</u>

5(5) - 5 = 5 + 15

25-5 = 20

20 = 20

Therefore, the solution x=5 satisfies the equation 5x − 5 = x + 15

How to solve 4(a-2)=3(a+4)
Blababa [14]
Use the distributive property.
4a - 8 = 3a + 12
Arrange the like terms.
4a - 3a = 12 + 8
a = 20
That is the answer. <span>☺️</span>✌️

How do you find the area of this composite figure?
Illusion [34]
If you notice the picture below

the composite figure is just a trapezoid sitting on top of a rectangle
and then, the rectangle has a triangular hole in it

so.. get the area of the trapezoid   \bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}=A=\cfrac{h}{2}(a+b)\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;h=height\\&#10;a,b=\textit{parallel sides or bases}&#10;\end{cases}

then get the area of the rectangle, which is just a 12x14
and then get the area of the triangle, which surely you know is 1/2 bh

then, subtract the triangle's area from the rectangle's area

and whatever is left, namely the difference, add that to the area of the trapezoid, and that's the composite's area

namely the area of the trapezoid plus the rectangle's, minus the triangle's
