Beth is solving this equation: 1/x + 3= 3/x she says i can multiply both sides by x and get the linear equation 1 + 3x = 3, whose solution is x= 2/3
which of the following statement makes a correct argument, or shows that it is incorrect? select all that apply
A. you can assume x ≠ 0 because both sides are undefined if x = 0
B. after multiplying both sides by x you need to subtract 1 from both sides
C. you cannot multiply both sides by x because you do not know what x is.
D. the equation is not linear, so you cannot use the methods normally used for solving linear equations.

Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria.the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time.create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.
