<h2>Half Life</h2>

The half life period is the time in which only half of the given population remains. It can be represented through this equation:

f(t)=a\times(1/2)^{\frac{t}{h}}

  • <em>t</em> = time passed
  • <em>a</em> = y-intercept
  • <em>h</em> = half life

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

  • <em>h</em> = 28 million years
  • <em>a</em> = 184 grams (this is the initial mass, after 0 time has passed)

For most questions like this, we would have to plug these values into the equation mentioned above. However, this question asks for the time elapsed after 3 half-lives.

This can be calculated simply by multiplying the given half-life by 3:

28 million years x 3

= 84 million years

<h2>Answer</h2>

84 million years

Solve the absolute value equation. If no solution write NO SOLUTION.<br> -{2x + 3] + 8<br> 12
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

If problem is "-|2x+3|+8=12"

then there is (<em>no solution.)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−|2x+3|+8=12

Step 1: Add -8 to both sides.

−|2x+3|+8+−8=12+−8

−|2x+3|=4

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

−|2x+3|=4

   -1       -1

|2x+3|=−4

Step 3: Solve Absolute Value.

|2x+3|=−4

No solutions Because absolute value is less than 0.
