Answer:

The answer to your question is about 5.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is y = 35(3x)

Data

# of bacteria = 550 = y

time = ? h

    Then    550 = 35(3x)                         substitution

                 550 = 105x                           simplifying

                x = 5.23 h.
