Answer:b=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(3b−1)=40
(2)(3b)+(2)(−1)=40(Distribute)
6b+−2=40
6b−2=40
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.
6b−2+2=40+2
6b=42
Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.
6b/6=42/6
b=7
Remember that the general decay equation is:

where

is the amount after a time


is the initial amount

is the the decay percent in decimal form
The first ting we are going to do is find

by dividing our <span>decay rate of 25% by 100%: </span>

.
We also know from our problem that

. Lets replace

and

in our formula:


We know now that our decay rate is 0.75, and since 0.75<1, we can conclude that
this situation represents exponential decay.
Now, to find the initial amount, we are going to solve our equation for

:


Notice that

will depend on the number of ours

Answer:
c. 22/24
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter = 3/8 + 3/8 + 1/6
perimeter = 22/24 or 11/12
Answer:
1.92 m³
hopefully this answer can help you to answer the next question.
Answer:
y = -3/2x + 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Point: (5, -5)
Parallel to: y = -3/2x + 2
Slope= -3/2 (parallel lines have the same slope)
y-intercept = -5 - (-3/2)(5) (y - slope times x) =
-5 + 15/2 = 5/2
