Answer:

<h2>x = 7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-4)-5=x-3\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\3x-12-5=x-3\\3x-17=x-3\qquad\text{add 17 to both sides}\\3x-17+17=x-3+17\\3x=x+14\qquad\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\\3x-x=x-x+14\\2x=14\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\x=7

galben [10]

Answer:

second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

10a + 12p = 70  (10 goes with almonds [a], 12 goes with pistachios[p], $10 and $12 is price per pound and $70 is total price, so that's why its = to 70)

a + p = 6.3        (this is total almonds and pistachios adding up to 6.3 pounds)

a = pounds of almonds

p = pounds of pistachios

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. If a sample contained 70 mg originally, how much is left after 17,190 years?
kow [346]

17,190 / 5,730 = 3. This means we must divide 70mg in half 3 times

70 / 2 = 35

35 / 2 = 17.5

17.5 / 2 = 8.75

There will be 8.75 mg left after 17,190 years.

This question is easy if you think about it. First get the area of the rectangular part of the shape and then find area of the two semi-circles then add them together.

First, let's solve for the rectangle because it's easier.

Area for finding a rectangle A = w * l

A = 23 * 37
A = 851

Now for the semi-circle. First use the equation for finding the area of a circle which is A = Pi * r^2. We'll use 3.14 for Pi.

We know the diameter is 23. And to get the radius we just half it because the radius is half of the diameter.

23 / 2 = 11.5

A = 3.14 * 11.5^2
A = 3.14 * <span>132.25
</span>A = <span>415.265
</span>
Now we have the total area for both semi-circles. Because if we half 415.265 then add the other semi-circle's area it will be the same and adding them up will result in 415.265.

Now add up 851 and 415.265.

851 + 415.265 = <span>1266.265</span>
