Answer: the answer is x=72

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: simplify both sides we know 15=x/4 -3 (the x holds a invisible 1)

the equation should look something Like: 15=1/4x-3 then FLIP the equation such as:

1/4x-3=15 then add 3 on both sides so 15+3=18

step 2: our equation is now 1/4x=18  (we see 4 is being divided the opposite of division is multiply) therefor multiply the 18 with 4

18*4=72 which means x=72

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

It will take 15.029 years for element X to reach mass of 260 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life period of radioactive element X is 26 years

The initial mass of radioactive element X is 260 grams

Elapsed time = half life * log (beginning amount /ending amount)/log 2

Substituting the given values, we get

Elapsed time = 26 * log (390/260)/log 2

=  15.209 years
