-2(3x+9)=-54

AND 2(3x+4) -3x=35

SHOW WORK PLEASE

1. x=6

2. x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

2.

Written Explanation:

1.

-2x(3x+9)=-54

-6x-`8=54 (Distributive property)

Add 18 to both sides

-6x=-36

Divide both sides by -6 (negative divided by a negative equals a positive)

x=6

2.

2(3x+4)-3x=35

6x+8-3x=35 (distributive property)

3x+8=35 (combine Iike terms and then subtract them 6x-3x=3x)

Subtract 8 from both sides

3x=27

Divide both sides by 3

x=9

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)
