The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.
the weight of the substance after 28 years is 8 grams.
<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>
We have that the half life of a substance is defined as the time required for the substance to decrease by half
The formula for calculating the half - life of a material is given as;

Where
- N(t) is final amount
- No is the initial amount = 128 grams
- t1/2 is the half life = 7 years
- t is the time elapsed = 28 years
Substitute into the formula
N(t) = 128 × (0. 5) ^28/ 7
N (t) = 128 × ( 0. 5) ^ 4
N(t) = 128 × 0. 0625
N(t) = 8 grams
Thus, the weight of the substance after 28 years is 8 grams.

It would be 8 inches, because for this you just have to find the greatest common factor between all three numbers which is 8
To solve:
find the square root of both sides
