To find the number of years between 1844 to 2015 you have to subtract.
Lets say that x is the # of years in between 1844 and 2015
Then we have:

After doing the subtraction using a calculator or a pencil and paper, you get that:

So 171 years have passed from 1844 to reach to 2015.
Answer:
2 solutions; x=2.5 x=-25
Step-by-step explanation:
16x^2 = 100
x^2 = 100/16
x^2 = 6.25
x = (+-) sqrt 6.25
x = (+-) 2.5
Answer:
x = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² = 24 ( multiply both sides by 3 )
2x² = 72 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
← note plus or minus
x = ± 6
solutions are x = - 6, x = + 6
The smallest solution is x = - 6
0.45 i think just into fractions
Answer:
8978 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to find the half-life is:

N(t) = amount after the time <em>t</em>
= initial amount of substance
t = time
It is known that after a half-life there will be twice less of a substance than what it intially was. So, we can get a simplified equation that looks like this, in terms of half-lives.
or more simply 
= time of the half-life
We know that
= 35,912, t = 14,680, and
=7,340
Plug these into the equation:

Using a calculator we get:
N(t) = 8978
Therefore, after 14,680 years 8,978 grams of thorium will be left.
