25 feet above sea level means she travelled 25 feet to the surface of the sea. She would have to descend (37-25=12) 12 more feet to achieve 37 total feet of travel, so she descended 12 feet below sea level.
Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides
2x + 10 = -14
Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides
2x = -24
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2
x = -12
Joe: 8 songs in 10 minutes = 8/10 = 0.8 songs per minute
Jasmine: 12 songs in 15 minutes = 12/15 = 0.8 songs per minute

This problem can be represented through the following equation
A = A₀(1/2)^t/h
where
A-----------> is the amount of substance left after time t
A₀ ----------> is the original amount---------> 2 g
h-------------> is the half-life-----------> 8 days
for A=0.04 g
t=?
0.04 = 2(1/2)^t/8
0.02 = (1/2)^t/8
Take ln on both sides:
ln(0.02) = ln [(1/2)^t/8]
ln(0.02) = (t/8)(ln 1/2)
t = 8*ln(0.02)/ln(1/2)
t = 45.15 days
the answer is 45.15 days
