Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the equation. Add common terms together:

5x + 8 - 2 = - 14

5x + (8 - 2) = -14

5x + 6 = -14

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS =

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

...and is the order of operation in which you follow.

First, subtract 6 from both sides:

5x + 6 (-6) = -14 (-6)

5x = -14 - 6

5x = -20

Next, divide 5 from both sides:

(5x)/5 = (-20)/5

x = -20/5

x = -4

x = -4 is your answer.

The half-life of a radioactive kind of ruthenium is 40 days. If you start with 240 grams of it,
Vlad [161]

Answer: 30g

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question (t½) of isotope is 40 days, which means that after 40 days half of the sample would have decayed and half would be left as it is.

After 40 days ( first half life) 240 /2 = 120 g decays and 120 g remains left.

After another 40 days ( two half lives or 80 days) 120 /2 = 60 g decays and 60 g remains left .

after three half lives or 120 days, 60/2 = 30g decay and 30 g of the isotope will be left.
