Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if the statement is true, just plug in 8 each time you see x.

3(8)+ 4 = 28

5(8) - 12 = 28

This proves the statement is true, x = 8.

An element with mass 730 grams decays by 27.6% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 12 minutes, to the nearest

Korolek [52]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay}\\\\
A=I(1 - r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &730\\
r=rate\to 27.6\%\to \frac{27.6}{100}\to &0.276\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &12\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=730(1-0.276)^{12}\implies A=730(0.724)^{12}$
