Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

Answer:

2x + 8 = 7

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" can be signified by a variable.

So 2 times a number would give you 2x

And 8 would mean to add 8.

Is 7 means the end result is 7.

So 2x + 8 = 7

x = -1/2

If 800g of a radioactive substance are present initially and 8 years later only 450g remain, how much of the substance will be p
artcher [175]

A=Pe^(rt)

P = 800g

t = 8 years

A = 450g

r = This is what we will try and find to start with

450=800e^(r*8)

After running the math through a calculator, we end with r = -0.07192

Now we just re-input this information into our equation: A=800e^(-0.07192*16)

A=800e^(1.15072)

Now we will re-write the equation using the negative exponent rule:

A = 800 1/e^1.15072

Combine right side:

A = 800/e^1.15072

Then do the math:

A = 253.12709836......

That will give us A = 253 (rounded to the whole number)

I hope this helps! :)
