Solve for x: 2x + 13 = 8x - 41

9 is your answer for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, & =

Parenthesis

Exponent (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, subtract 13 & 8x from both sides:

2x (-8x) + 13 (-13) = 8x (-8x) - 41 (-13)

2x - 8x = -41 - 13

Simplify. Combine like terms:

-6x = -54

Isolate the variable, x. Divide -6 from both sides:

(-6x)/-6 = (-54)/-6

x = (-54)/(-6)

x = 9

x = 9 is your answer.

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

42
