Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 5) = 10

You would first multiply 2 by x and 5

2x-10 = 10

then you would add ten to both sides

2= 20

then you would divide 2 by 20

x=10

Soon after taking an aspirin, a patient has absorbed 320 mg of the drug. after 3 hours, only 40 mg remain. find an exponential m

Anastaziya [24]

The equation will be of the form:
$A(t)= A_{0} e^{rt}$
where A is the amount after t hours, and r is the decay constant.
To find the value of r, we plug the given values into the equation, giving:
$40=320e^{3r}$
Rearranging and taking natural logs of both sides, we get:
$ln\ 0.125=3r$
$r=\frac{ln\ 0.125}{3}=-0.693$
The required model is:
$A=A _{0} e^{-0.693t}$

What is the means-to-MAD ratio of the two data sets, expressed as a decimal? Data set Mean Mean absolute deviation (MAD) 1 10.3

aleksklad [387]

Mean -to-MAD ratio is the division of the Mean by the Mean Absolute Deviaion (MAD). For the set 1, mean / MAD is 10.3 / 1. 6 = 6.4375; and for the set 2, Mean / MAD is: 12.7 / 1.5 = 8.467. This is a measure of disperssion of a set of values. MAD is calculated as the sum of the absolute differences of the values and the mean.
