Steps to solve:
k + 10 = 27
~Subtract 10 to both sides
k = 17
Best of Luck!
No, because negative base sometimes results in non-real or imaginary value.
What is the value of X?
Simplify:
8x - 10 - 4x = - 12(12x - 20)
Simplify both sides:
8x - 10 - 4x = - 12(12x -20)
8x + - 10 + - 4x = (- 12)(12x) + ( -12)(- 20)
(Distribute:)
8x + - 10 + - 4x = 144x 240
(8x + - 4x) + ( -10) = - 144x + 240 (Combine Like Terms:)
4x + - 10 = - 144x + 240
4x - 10 = - 144x + 240
Add - 144x to both sides:
4x - 10 + 144x = - 144x + 240 + 144x
148x - 10 = 240
Add 10 to both sides:
148x - 10 + 10 = 240 + 10
148x = 250
Divide both sides by 148
148x/148 = 250/148
x = 125/74
Answer: x = 125/74 (Decimal: 1.689189)
Hope that helps!!!!
Answer: 4 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A(0) has to be amount at start. Assume that's 5mg
Then A(t) = 5×(0.5)^(0.25t) = 5×2^(-t/4),
(also known as 5 exp(-λ t) with λ = ln(2)/4, incidentally).
We need to such that A(t) = 2.5mg, or 2^(-t/4) is 1/2, which happens when -t/4 is -1, or t is 4.
