Hello there!
5d = 17.1
The equation is asking you to find the value for "d". How to do that? Well, all you have to do is divide both side by 5.
5d/5 = 17.1
d = 3.42
That's your answer!
You can even double check your work, if you want to. How? Well, you just need to replace 3.42 where it belongs.
5(3.42) = 17.1
17.1 = 17.1
True!
Let me know if you have additional questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!
The answer would be 14x+5 I’m pretty sure
{ solution is attached below}
The equation will be of the form:

where A is the amount after t hours, and r is the decay constant.
To find the value of r, we plug the given values into the equation, giving:

Rearranging and taking natural logs of both sides, we get:


The required model is:
If you would like to solve the equation -5x - 25 = 78, you should do this using the following steps:
<span>-5x - 25 = 78
</span>-5x - 25 + 25 = 78 + 25
-5x + 0 = 103
-5x = 103 /(-5)
x = 103 / (-5)
x = - 103/5 = - 20.6
