Use The Figure Below to Solve For x.

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

The information we are given:

We are told that the distance from point a to c is x + 10

We are told that the distance from a to b is 5

we are also told that the distance from b to c is 2x+6

Because from point A to B and B to C is inside the total of A to C we can add the two together and create a equation to solve for x

so the sum of the two parts 5 + 2x + 6

*combine like terms*

11 + 2x

is equal to the total distance (x+10)

now we solve for x

11 + 2x = x + 10

step 1 subtract x from each side by

2x - x =  x

x -x cancels out

now we have 11 + x = 10

step 2 subtract 11 from each side

11-11 cancels out

10 - 11 = -1

we're left with x = -1

Now lets plug in x and see if A to C is equal to A to B + B to C

(-1) + 10 = 5 + 2(-1) + 6

10 - 1= 9

2*-1=-2

6-2=4

4+5=9

9=9

which is true so we can conclude that x = -1

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.

ending amount = beginning amount / (2^n)

where "n" = number of half-lives (or elapsed time / half-life)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^10 / 5.3)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^ 1.8867924528)

ending amount = 50 m / 3.6981210597

ending amount = 13.5203794557 mg

or about 13.5 mg remain
