Two-step equations can get more difficult the higher the numbers get, but they're not too hard! ;)

To solve 3x+5=-16:

First subtract 5 from each side

Now its 3x=-21

Next divide 3 from each side

You get x=-7!

Always check your work! To check your work plug your answer "-7" into x.

So it looks like this: 3(-7)+5=-16 then distribute and solve!

You'll get -16=-16, that means its correct/true!

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x + 5 = - 16 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3x = - 21 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 7

Dubnium-262 has a half-life of 34 s. How long will it take for 500.0 grams to
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

the time taken for the radioactive element to decay to 1 g is 304.8 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

half-life of the given Dubnium = 34 s

initial mass of the given Dubnium, m₀ = 500 grams

final mass of the element, mf = 1 g

The time taken for the radioactive element to decay to its final mass is calculated as follows;

1 = 500 (0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}} \\\\\frac{1}{500} =  (0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}}\\\\log(\frac{1}{500}) = log [(0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}}]\\\\log(\frac{1}{500})  = \frac{t}{34} log(0.5)\\\\-2.699 = \frac{t}{34} (-0.301)\\\\t = \frac{2.699 \times 34}{0.301} \\\\t = 304.8 \ s

Therefore, the time taken for the radioactive element to decay to 1 g is 304.8 s.

Not sure what form you want this in:

Simplified this is 4x+4y

Factorised this is 4(x+y)

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

Every triangle's interior angles add up to 180°

The triangle has a right angle.

The triangle is isosceles (two equal sides and two equal angles)

Let's make an equation with the information we have already.

2 × (2x + 3) + 90 = 180

4x + 6 + 90         = 180

4x + 96                = 180

4x                         = 84

x                           = 21
