Answer:

X= 0 or Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps To solve this problem... (8 steps)

1) Rearrange terms:

−14 − 8x = −2(−3x + 7)

−8x − 14 = −2(−3x + 7)

2) Distribute:

−8x − 14 = −2−(3x + 7)

−8x − 14 = 6x - 14

3) Add 14 to both sides of the equation:

−8x − 14 = 6x - 14

−8x − 14 + 14 = 6x - 14 + 14

4) Simplify (Add the numbers):

-8x = 6x

5) Subtract 6x from both sides of the equation:

-8x = 6x

-8x - 6x = 6x - 6x

6) Simplify (Combine like terms):

-14x = 0

7) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term:

-14x = 0

-14x/-14 = 0/-14

8) Simplify (Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator):

X= 0/-14

Hope this Helped! :)

The core melt- down and explosions at the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl in 1986 released large amounts of strontium-90, which dec

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

If $S(t)$ is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year $t$ , and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then

$S(t+1)=(1-0.025)S(t)=0.975S(t)$

Let $S(0)=s$ be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then

$S(t+1)=0.975S(t)=0.975^2S(t-1)=0.975^3S(t-2)=\cdots=0.975^{t+1}S(0)$

or simply

$S(t)=0.975^ts$

So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately

$S(50)=0.975^{50}s\approx0.282s$

or about 28% of the original amount.

We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,

$S(t)=se^{kt}$

where $t$ is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount $s$ decays after 1 year, so that

$0.975s=se^k\implies k=\ln0.975$

Then after 50 years, we have

$S(50)=se^{50k}\approx0.282s$

A cylindrical pressure vessel has a height of 9 feet and a diameter of 6 feet. How much gas can the pressure vessel hold when fu

notka56 [123]

since the diameter of the base of the cylinder is 6 feet, then its radius is half that, or 3 feet.

$\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\[-0.5em]
\hrulefill\\
r=3\\
h=9
\end{cases}\implies V=\pi (3)^2(9)\implies V=81\pi$

Caroline wants to give 8 friends equal size packets of flower seeds to her friends. She has 1/2 pound of flower seeds. How much

Katena32 [7]

You just have to divide the 1/2 a pound by 8, or equivalently multiply by (1/8):

(1/2)*(1/8) = 1/16 of a pound

Solve the proportion 40/z+1 = 15/6

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{40}{z + 1} = \frac{15}{6} \\$

<u>Cross multiply </u>

That's

$15(z + 1) = 40(6) \\ 15z + 15 = 240$

<u>Send 15 to the right side of the equation</u>

$15z = 240 - 15 \\ 15z = 225$

Divide both sides by 15

$\frac{15z}{15} = \frac{225}{15} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
