Answer: x= 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x−5(x−1)=2x−(2x−3)

x−5(x−1)=2x+−1(2x−3)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

x−5(x−1)=2x+−1(2x)+(−1)(−3)

x−5(x−1)=2x+−2x+3

x+(−5)(x)+(−5)(−1)=2x+−2x+3(Distribute)

x+−5x+5=2x+−2x+3

(x+−5x)+(5)=(2x+−2x)+(3)(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+5=3

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

−4x+5−5=3−5

−4x=−2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x /−4 = −2 /−4

x = 1/2

When 23 is subtracted from 5 times a certain number the result is 87

allsm [11]

5x-23=87
add 23 to both sides
5x=110
divide both sides by 5
x=22

To check your answer...
5(22)-23=87
110-23=87
87=87

A certain radioactive material decays in such a way that the mass in kilograms remaining after t years is given by the function

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The mass of radioactive material remaining after 50 years would be 48.79 kilograms

<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>

It is important to note that half - life is the time it takes for the amount of a substance to reduce by half its original size.

Given the radioactive decay formula as

m(t)=120e−0.018t

Where

t= 50 years

m(t) is the remaining amount

Substitute the value of t

$m(t) = 120e^-^0^.^0^1^8^(^5^0^)$

$m(t) = 120e^-^0^.^9$

Find the exponential value

m(t) = 48.788399

m(t) = 48.79 kilograms to 2 decimal places

Thus, the mass of radioactive material remaining after 50 years would be 48.79 kilograms

What is the unit rate of 15 laps in 3 days

Ivanshal [37]

The answer is going to be 5 laps per day because I did 15 laps/3days and divided each side by 3 which the answer is going to be 5/1 but it’s basically 5 since it’s going to be a whole number in this set. Therefore the unit rate of 15 laps in 3 days is going to be 5 laps per day.

vlabodo [156]

Answer: X=13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply Both sides by 12

8x-10=5x+3

2. Collect the like terms, calculate the sum

8x-5x=3+10

3.Divide both sides by 3

3x=13

Answer X=13/3

Alternative Form,

X= 4 1/3, X=4.3
