I NEED HELP WITH QUESTION 2 ONLY (GIVING BRAINIEST) 50 points Is x = 6 a solution to the equation 5(x – 3) = x + 13?
Follow the steps to find out.

1. Rewrite the equation 5(x – 3) = x + 13 with 6 substituted for x. Write a question mark over the equal sign to show that you're testing to see if the equation is true. ANSWER: 6 (incorrect solution)
Steps:
Calculation: 5(6 - 3) = 6 + 13
Multiplication: 5 x 3 = 19
Checking the equality: 15 + 19
So there for the solution is not 6

2. Simplify both sides. Show your work.

3. Is x = 6 a solution to the equation? Why or why not? ANSWER: 6 is not the solution
Solving for x:
5(x – 3) = x + 13
5x - 15 = x + 13
5x - x = 13 + 15
4x = 28
x = 28/4
x = 7

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.
