    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assuming it is a linear relationship you would:

    36000=5 (M) + 3000

    find M which is your rate of change per hour which when we solve it is 6600.

    then you would plug into the equation ~ x=18 (6600) + 3000. to find x which is how many bacteria will be present after 18 hours.
