Answer:

We are given equation:

5/6 x -2 = -2/3 x +1.

Note: when we have fracions in an equation, we always try to get rid fractions by removing denominator parts.

In the given equation we have 6 and 3 in denominator. So, we need to find the common denominator (lowest common denomiantor) of 6 and 3.

The lowest common denomiantor of 6 and 3 is 6.

So, equation is being multiplied by 6 on both sides.

Therefore,

Step 1) Multiply each side by LCD of fractions.

6 ( 5/6 x -2 ) = 6 (-2/3 x +1)

Step 2) Use distributive property to simplify above step, we get

6* 5/6 x = 5x

6 * -2 = -12

6 * -2/3 x = -4x and

6 * 1 = 6.

Therefore, we get

5x - 12 = -4x + 6 on simplifying second step.

Step 3) We use Addition property of Equality in third step.

Because we have -4x on right side, and the reverse operation of subtraction is addition.

5x - 12 = -4x + 6

+4x        +4x    Step 4) Here we just did simplification of above step.

____________________

9x -12  = 6

 +12   +12     Step 5) Again applied Addition property of Equality to get rid -12 from left side.  

_______________

9x  = 18         Step 6) Here we just did simplification of above step.

Step 7) Because 9 is being multiplied with x on left side. To get rid 9 from left side we need to apply reverse operation of multiplication.

Therefore, Division property of equality is used there by dividing 9 on both sides.

9x/9 = 18/9  

Step 8) Again did simplification of above step.

x=2 Final answer.

How much of a radioactive kind of thorium will be left after 14,680 years if you start with
babymother [125]

Answer:

8978 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the half-life is:

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-kt}

N(t) = amount after the time <em>t</em>

N_{0} = 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.

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2}) }{t_{h} } t} or more simply N(t)= N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{t_{h} } }

t_{h} = time of the half-life

We know that N_{0} = 35,912, t = 14,680, and t_{h}=7,340

Plug these into the equation:

N(t) = 35912(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{14680}{7340} }

Using a calculator we get:

N(t) = 8978

Therefore, after 14,680 years 8,978 grams of thorium will be left.

Triangle ABC has perimeter 22 cm.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 8 cm

B = 5 cm

C = 22 - 8 - 5 = 9 cm

Use the Pythagreom Theroem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) if the two sides are equal to one another than it is a right triangle.

8^2 + 5^2 = 9^2

64 + 25 = 81

89 = 81

89 does not equal 81, so this is not a right triangle.
