Answer:

\boxed{6.875 \text{\: grams}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-lives are how long it takes for half of a substance to decay. If you start with a certain amount and it decays for a certain amount of half-lives, you are dividing by 2^{x}, where <em>x</em>  is equal to the amount of half-lives.

In order to solve this question, simply divide the starting value by 2 raised to the value of half-lives.

\large\boxed{\frac{220}{2^{5}}=6.875\text{\: grams}}

Not sure how to do this. (I'm aware this is wrong lol)

I think the answer is 80 degrees. Think about it like you're moving the chunk with 100 degrees already filled in, to the space where you're trying to find the amount since they're the same. Vertical angles are supplementary and are equal to 180. So, 100+x = 180. x would equal 80 degrees.

The function p(x) = 25x represents the number of pages p(x) a printer can print in x minutes. How many pages can the
Rashid [163]

Answer:

7,500 Pages

Step-by-step explanation:

So this printer can prink 25 pages in 1 (x) minute.

There are 60 minutes in an hour and we are waiting 5 hours, so 5x60 = 300 minutes.

Then you take the 300 and plug it in for x because that is how many minutes we are waiting for.  Now your equation should look like this:

p(x) = 25(300)

Next you multiply 25 x 300 and you get 7,500 pieces of paper

Find the value of X and explanation please

150 and the unknown angle next to it equal 180.

180 - 150= unknown angle
30 degrees= unknown angle

Then the triangle also equals 180 so we add the angles and solve for x

3x + 2x + 30= 180
5x + 30= 180
5x= 150
x= 30

3x= 3(30)= 90 degrees
2x= 2(30)= 60 degrees
