Answer: k = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to solve for "k":

2.5(4k+2) =12k

Applying distributive property:

2.5(4k) + 2.5(2) =12k

10k +5 =12k

Combining alike terms:

5 = 12k -10k

5= 2k

Isolating the variable "k"

5/2=k

k = 5/2 or 2.5 (decimal form)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

-x+6is the same as -(x-6) how do I know? Pls help

Verdich [7]

The x becomes negative because the negative sign at the start of the parenthesis distributes to everything inside parenthesis so x becomes -x and the double negative becomes +6 so that is why

An element with mass 130 grams decays by 22% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 7 minutes, to the nearest 10

shepuryov [24]

22.8 grams of element will be remaining after 7 minutes

Further explanation:

Given

$Mass\ of\ element=130g\\Percentage\ of\ reduction=22\%$

The element reduces (1-22%) in one minute.

The process will be repeated 7 times for 7 minutes

If we have to calculate the amount of element after 7 minutes

then the total reduction will be: (1-22%)^7

$Remaining\ amount=130*(1-22\%)^7\\=130*(1-0.22)^7\\=130*(0.78)^7\\=130*0.18\\=22.84g\\Rounding\ off\ to\ nearest\ tenth\\=22.8g$

22.8 grams of element will be remaining after 7 minutes

The number of students in a chess club decreased from 28 to 11. What is the percent decrease? Round your answer to the nearest p

atroni [7]

Answer:

28-11=17

28=100%

17=x

17×100/28=60,71

rounded 61%

60,71%

11/28*100=a

a-100=60,71

to nearest percent 61 i think
