How do you solve 5x-2x+6x+40-9+1-x+3x-8+15+7

5x-2x+6x+40-9+1-x+3x-8+15+7

First you would combine like terms:

5x - 2x + 6x - x + 3x = 11x and

40 - 9 + 1 - 8 + 15 + 7 = 46, so the simplified expression would be

11x + 46

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
