Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 1)=2(x - 1)

3x + 3 = 2x - 2

3x - 2x = -2 - 3

x = -5

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 1)=2(x - 1)

first u distribute

3x+3=2x-3

now u can either add or subtract 3 from both sides, i am going to add

3x+3+3 =2x-5+5

3x+6 = 2x

now u subtract 3x

3x-3x+5 = 2x-3x

5= -1x

now divide both sides by -1

x=-5

A certain compound has a half-life of four days. Write and use an exponential decay function to find the amount of compound rema

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

1.97 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

-The exponential decay function is given by the formula:

$P_t=P_oe^{-rt}\\\\$

Given that the half-life is 4 days, we can substitute in the formula to solve the rate of decay for a single half-life:

$P_t=P_oe^{rt}\\\\P_t=0.5P_o\\\\\therefore 0.5=e^{-4r}\\\\-4r=In(0.5)\\\\r=0.17329$

#Since, 1 week has 7 days, 3 weeks is a 21-day period, thus, t=21.

#We substitute and solve for the amount remaining after 21days of decay:

$P_t=P_oe^{-rt}\\\\=75e^{-21\times 0.17329}\\\\=1.97072\\\\\approx1.97 \ oz$

Hence, the amount remaining after 3 weeks of decays is approximately 1.97 ounces

Calculate the volume of the cylinder in square feet.
Pi•r^2•h
3.14•2^2•6
3.14•4•6
3.14•24

Then multiply by 62.5 lbs/ft^2
3.14•24•62.5

Equation for the points (3,8) (2,6) on slope

Irina18 [472]

$\frac{8-6}{3-2} = \frac{2}{1}=4$

The slope is 2

y=2x + b

Plug in a point to solve for b
8 = 2(3) + b

8 = 6 + b
b = 2

The equation is y = 2x + 2
