Answer:

the number would be 11

Step-by-step explanation:

8    ·    x - 3       =      64

________                 _          (divide both sides by 8)

8                                 8

x - 3  =   8

+ 3         + 3

x  = 11

(check:

11 - 3 = 8

8 x 8 = 64 )

Hi student, let me help you out!

................................................................................................................................

        \bold{Let:}                                    \star

           \mathsf{s\:be\:the\:number}

The little phrase (eight times) tells us to multiply s times 8: \mathsf{8s}.

The phrase (the difference of) tells us to subtract 3 minus s: \mathsf{s-3}.

Now, the problem also tells us to multiply 8 times 3-s: \mathsf{8(s-3)}.

Notice I put parentheses around 3-s. This tells us to multiply 8 times both terms - 3 and -s.                                                  \star

Finally, this expression is 64. All of our hard work results in the following equation: ✨ \bigstar\underline{\boxed{\mathrm{8(s-3)=64}}}                                      \star

Hope this helped you out, ask in comments if any queries arise.

Best Regards!                                 \star

\star\bigstar\underline{\underline{\overline{\overline{\bold{Reach\:far.\:Aim\:high.\:Dream\:big.}}}}}\bigstar\star

Answer-44


You can turn both of the denominators ( bottom numbers on the fractions ) into 120 ( the whole number ) and the top numbers can be multiplied by how many times the denominators went into 120. Then add the top numbers which equals 76 and then 120-76=44. Hope that kinda helps !!

A rock outcrop was found to have 78.88% of its parent u-238 isotope remaining. approximate the age of the outcrop. the half-life
Alla [95]

Answer:

Answer:1.5*10^9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life of the substance is given i.e 4.5B years. You can change it into seconds by multiplying it with 365 and 86400.

The current no of particles is given 78.88% which will be equal to 78.88 if you assume the substance had 100 no of particle initially.

Determine the decay constant by dividing 0.69 by half life

use these values in the equation for the answer.

[ln and e are inverse functions to eachother]
