In a lab experiment, 3400 bacteria are placed in a petri dish. The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 8 hours. How long would it be, to the nearest tenth of an hour, until there are 13700 bacteria present?

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

the first option is the answer.

“a term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a + sign or j sign. in , the terms are 5x , 3y and 8. when a term is made up of a constant multiplied by a variable or variables, that constant is called a coefficient.” i hope this you.

choose (5, 1.5) and (-1.5,-3.5)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 1.5 =3.5

-1.5 - (-3.5) = 2

3.5 + 2 =5.5

hope this !
