Answer:

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x + 1 = 1/6 x -7

Multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to eliminate the fraction

6*(2/3 x + 1) =6( 1/6 x -7)

4x +6 = x -42

Subtract x from each side

4x-x +6 = -42

3x +6= - 42

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6 = -42-6

3x = -48

3x/3 = -48/3

x = -16

After 3 days a sample of radon-222 has decayed to 58% of its original amount.

Rina8888 [55]

The half-life of the radioactive substance can be determined through teh equation ln 2 = k (t 1/2) where k is equal to ln (1/(1-0.58)) / 3. Hence t 1/2 is equal to 2.40 days. To decay to 10% of the original amount, ln (1/0.90) / ( ln2) / 2.40, time is equal to 0.37 days.
