Answer:
( A . ans )expressions that work the same even though they look different.
9x - 37 = - 118
add 37 to both sides
9x - 37 + 37 = -118 + 37
simplify
9x = -81
divide both sides by 9
9x/9 = -81/9
simplify
x = - 9
answer
x = -9
Answer:
It would take 24 minutes for the element to decay to 50 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the amount of the element present, after t minutes, is:
In which Q(X) decays radioactively with a half life of 12 minutes.(0) is the initial amount and r is the rate it decreases.
Half life of 12 minutes
This means that
So
If there are 200 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 50 grams?
This is t when Q(t) = 50. Q(0) = 200.
It would take 24 minutes for the element to decay to 50 grams
