Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the 3x away from the right side.
-5x-3x=-8x
-8x = -24
Divide both sides by 8.
-8x/8 = x
-24/8 = -3
x = -3
<span>As the age of the U-235 sample is 2.631 billion years, and the half-life of U-235 is 713 million years, the sample has undergone 2.361 X 1,000,000,000 / 713 X 1,000,000 = 3.69 half lives. In each half-life the sample reduces to half its original weight according to the radioactive Half-Life Formula:
ln (Nt /N0) = -kt, where N0 = mass of the original weight of radioactive material, Nt = mass of radioactive material at time t, k = decay constant and t = time interval . We have to put Nt/N0 = 1/2 for time interval = half-life.</span>
