3x - 12

Triple a number would be 3x instead of x cubed as it is not asking for a number multiplied by itself three times.

-12 is the second half as since you don’t know whether or not the variable will be larger or smaller than the constant, it is safer to put it on the other half.

Thus, this equation fills in the worded format.

Hope this helps!

12-3x because 12 less than means 12- and tripe a number is 3x which is 12-3x or -3x+12

Plutonium–238 has a yearly decay constant of 7.9 × 10-3. If an original sample has a mass of 15 grams, how long will it take to
eduard
The answer is 28 years

At = A0 * e^(-k * t)
At = 12 g
A0 = 15 g
k = 7.9 × 10^-3 = 0.0079 
t = ?

12 = 15 * e^(-0.0079 * t)
12/15 = e^(-0.0079 * t)
0.8 = e^(-0.0079 * t)

Logarithm both sides (because ln(e) = 1:
ln(0.8) = ln(e^(-0.0079 * t))
ln(0.8) = (-0.0079 * t) * ln(e)
-0.223 = -0.0079 * t
t = -0.223 / -0.0079
t = 28.23
t ≈ 28 years
