Answer:
2 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2,674.14 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the formula for radioactive decay is
N = N₀ e^(-λt)
where,
N is the amount left at time t
N₀ is the initial amount when t=0, (given as 42,784 g)
λ = coefficient of radioactive decay
= 0.693 ÷ Half Life
= 0.693 ÷ 18
= 0.0385
t = time elapsed (given as 72 years)
e = exponential constant ( approx 2.7183)
If we substitute these into our equation:
N = N₀ e^(-λt)
= (42,787) (2.7183)^[(-0.0385)(72)]
= (42,787) (2.7183)^(-2.7726)
= (42,787) (0.0625)
= 2,674.14 g
7% of 232,000 is 16,240
232,000 + 16,240 is 248,240
so 248,240 is the answer
I will explain step by step how to solve for x
Remove the parenthesis using distributive property
1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)
1.5(x) + 1.5(4) = 4.5(x) - 4.5(2)
1.5x + 6 = 4.5x - 9
Combining like-terms. Move the terms whose variable x to the left side, and move constants to the right side. Plus sign will become substract sign after being moved.
1.5x + 6 = 4.5x - 9
1.5x - 4.5x = -9 - 6
-3x = -12
Move -3 to the right side to solve for x. Multiplication becomes division after being moved to the other side
-3x = -12
x = -12/-3
x = 4
The value of x is 4
