Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
30 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
half life is 60 days so every 60 days the amount 480 grams will be half
in 240 days will decay 240 /60 = 4 times
once 480 /2 = 240
twice 240 /2 = 120
trice 120 / 2 = 60
four times 60/2 = 30 grams will be left
Let's solve for h
hx = 0.5x - 9
Step 1: Divide both sides by x.
hx/x = 0.5x - 9/ x
Answer = h = 0.5x - 9/ x
Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.
On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of 
On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of 
So, the equation we want to solve is

Subtract 3x from both sides:

Subtract 8 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:
