Solve for X. Assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent.

Follow these steps using the algebra tiles to solve the equation −5x + (−2) = −2x + 4. 1. add 5 positive x-tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 2. add 4 negative unit tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 3. divide the unit tiles evenly among the x-tiles. x =

A33 gram sample of a substance that's used to detect explosives has a k-value of 0.1473. n = noekt no = initial mass (at time t = 0) n = mass at time t k = a positive constant that depends on the substance itself and on the units used to measure time t = time, in days
