Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

As given, the equation 40 = 25 + x

As on the R.H.S of the equation, there is one constant and a variable x

As to isolate the variable we have to subtract the same constant so that that constant gives 0.

As we have the constant value 25

So, subtract 25 from both side of the equation, we get

40 - 25 = 25 + x - 25

⇒15 = x

∴ we get

x = 15

A particular isotope has a half-life of 74 days. If you start with 1 kilogram of this isotope, how much will remain after 150

shtirl [24]

$\bf \stackrel{150~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &150\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{75}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.24536}$

$\bf \stackrel{300~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &300\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{300}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.060202}$
