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.

step-by-step explanation:

what grade level is this? need to know so i can look in my old textbooks!

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
