Can anyone help me with this please.

x^2– 5x – 24 = 0

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9

if i did my math right then the answer should but 108

the formula for converting absorbance to transmittance goes as:

a = log (1/t)  a = 2 - log(%t)  10^a = 1/t  t = 10^-a  %t = 100(10^-a)

so at the given value of a,   a = 1.5

%t = 100(10^-1.5)

%t = 3.16%
