Compounds A and B are used in an experiment. The equation y=500(0.5)x represents the remaining amount of compound A, in grams, after x hours. The table shows the remaining amount of compound B. Time (h) Grams of B 1 200 2 100 3 50 What is the positive difference in the initial amount of each compound? Enter your answer in the box. g

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.

1/2(2*4)=6 $$- agahajakanajak
