Bacteria populations grow exponentially according to the formulaNt=N0⋅ect, whereN0is the initial number of bacteria, tis the number of hours, Ntis the number of bacteria after t hours, andcis the growth factor for a particular bacteria. At 2:00 p. m., there are 400 bacteria present. At 5:00 p. m., there are 1000 bacteria present.

What number of bacteria will be present at 10:00 p. m?

2000

2505

4205

4605

step-by-step explanation: where's the phrase?

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

1

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
