Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive substance to reduce of half of its original size
If the half life of radium is 1600, this means that the original radioactive substance N0 have reduced to N0/2 after 1600 years
if we are given N0 = 1000grams
The amount of the substance that will remain after 1600 years will be N0/2 i.e 1000/2 = 500g
<em>Hence 500 grams of radium will be left after 600years</em>
The number is -13.
In order to find this, we first need to make each part of the statement into a mathematical statement.
Twice the difference of a number and 2.
2(x - 2)
Three times the sum of the number and 3
3(x + 3)
Now we can set them equal to each other and solve.
2(x - 2) = 3(x + 3) ----> Distribute
2x - 4 = 3x + 9 ------> Subtract 2x from both sides
-4 = x + 9 -----> Subtract 9 from both sides
-13 = x

When finding factors of a number, you are just finding numbers that can factor into it. When finding the prime factorization, you are narrowing down the factors to the smallest factored numbers.
