The value of x is 1. To solve this problem you have to setup the equation like this: 2(2x + 1) = 8x -2. This equation works because since Y is the midpoint, if you double YZ then you get XZ. From the equation you use distributive property to multiply 2 by everything within the parenthesis now the equation should look like this: 4x+2 = 8x -2. Now you can add 2 to both sides making the equation look like this: 4x + 4 = 8x. Then you subtract 4x from each side turning the equation into something like this: 4=4x then you divide by 4 on each side getting your answer: 1 = x.

Since Y is the midpoint of XZ, YZ will be half of the line. So, you can set up the equation 2(YZ) = XZ and substitute the values in to solve for x.

     2(YZ) = XZ       Substitute in the values
2(2x + 1) = 8x - 2   Use the Distributive Property
   4x + 2 = 8x - 2   Add 2 to both sides
   4x + 4 = 8x         Subtract 4x from both sides
           4 = 4x         Divide both sides by 4
            1 = x           Switch the sides to make it easier to read
            x = 1

An anthropologist finds that a prehistoric bone contains less than 8.1% of the amount of Carbon-14 the bones would have containe
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

20,944 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula you use for this type of decay problem is the one that uses the decay constant as opposed to the half life in years.  We are given the k value of .00012.  If we don't know how much carbon was in the bones when the person was alive, it would be safer to say that when he was alive he had 100% of his carbon.  What's left then is 8.1%.  Because the 8.1% is left over from 100% after t years, we don't need to worry about converting that percent into a decimal.  We can use the 8.1.  Here's the formula:

N(t)=N_{0} e^{-kt}

where N(t) is the amount left over after the decay occurs, N_{0} is the initial amount, -k is the constant of decay (it's negative cuz decay is a taking away from as opposed to a giving to) and t is the time in years.  Filling in accordingly,

8.1=100e^{-.00012t}

Begin by dividing the 100 on both sides to get

.081=e^{-.00012t}

Now take the natural log of both sides.  Since the base of a natual log is e, natural logs and e "undo" each other, much like taking the square root of a squared number.

ln(.081)= -.00012t

Take the natual log of .081 on your calculator to get

-2.513306124 = -.00012t

Now divide both sides by -.00012 to get t = 20,944 years

Mrs. Kermit has 29 markers. She gives 12 markers to Mr. Cooke and divides the rest among 5 other teachers. If each of the teache
romanna [79]

Answer: 2 markers.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that she gives 12 markers to Mr. Cooke, then the rest among is:

29 markers-12 markers=17 markers

2. She divides the rest among 5 other teachers and each one of them get the same number of markers. So, you need to divide 17 markers by 5 teachers as following:

17 markers/5=3.4 markers

3. But the number of marker each one teacher has can't be a decimal number, so this number must be: 3 markers for each teacher.

3. The number of markers that will be left over is:

17 markers-(5*3 markers)=2 markers
