McKenzie told her friend, “If you increase my age by 8, multiply that quantity by 1/2 , and then subtract 6, you get 5.” Write an equation that matches McKenzie’s description using x as the variable. a) x+8x1/2-6=5

b)1/2x+8-6=5

c)1/2(x+8-6)=5

d)1/2(x+8)-6=5

The table below shows the approximate masses of a dust particle and a grain of pollen. dust particle 0.000000778 g grain of pollen 0.00000000155 g the mass of a dust particle can be estimated and written in the form a × 10^b, where a = 8 and b = the mass of a grain of pollen can be estimated and written in the form a × 10^b, where a = 2 and b = based on the estimates, the mass of a dust particle is approximately blank times larger than the mass of a grain of pollen.
