A scientist studied bacteria. She placed 4 bacteria in a dish.
The population of bacteria triples every 12 hours
Which equation can be used to determine the number of bacteria, y, present after x days?
O y = 4(3)x
O y=4(6)x
O y = 4(3) 2x
O y = 4(6) 2x

168

step-by-step explanation:

i am pretty sure that the answer is 168

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
