By definition of absolute value, if
, then

On the other hand, if
, then
, and

It would be 151/100 it ant be symplified anymore so
This is a typical radioactive decay problem which uses the general form:
A = A0e^(-kt)
So, in the given equation, A0 = 192 and k = 0.015. We are to find the amount of substance left after t = 55 years. That would be represented by A. The solution is as follows:
A = 192e^(-0.015*55)
<em>A = 84 mg</em>
A) Garage A = 3x
Garage B = 2x + 2
b) 2x + 2 = 3x
x = 2
c) the solution, 2, means the number of hour which both garages would have the equal amount of cost. In this case, in 2 hours, they would be equal in cost.
