12.5%, every 500 years you take away half of the substance (50%) -> 25% -> 12.5%
you divide your number 3 times because 1500/500=3

Answer:

$x=-\frac{9}{4} \\ or \:\\x = -2\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2 (x + 1/4)+1=5\\\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)+1=5\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)+1-1=5-1\\\\Simplify\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)=4\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2\\\frac{-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)}{-2}=\frac{4}{-2}\\\\Simplify\\x+\frac{1}{4}=-2\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{1}{4}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=-2-\frac{1}{4}\\\\Simplify\\x=-\frac{9}{4}\\\\x = -2\frac{1}{4}$
