Try to find x & y. I need it so much please

Answer:

x = 3

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using theorem of similar triangles, we have,

(6 + x)/6 = (7 + 3.5)/7

(6 + x)/6 = 10.5/7

Cross multiply

7(6 + x) = 10.5(6)

42 + 7x = 63

7x = 63 - 42

7x = 21

x = 21/7

x = 3

Thus:

7.5/y = (7 + 3.5)/7

7.5/y = 10.5/7

Cross multiply

7.5*7 = 10.5*y

52.5 = 10.5*y

Divide both sides by 10.5

52.5/10.5 = y

y = 5

Strontium-90 has a half-life of about 29 years. After 65 years, about how many grams of a 25-gram sample will remain?

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Ending Amount = Beginning Amount / 2 ^ n

where 'n' = number of half-lives n = 65 / 29 = 2.2413793103

Ending Amount = 25 g / 2^2.2413793103

Ending Amount = 25 / 4.7284892286

Ending Amount = 5.2871009727 g = 5.29 g (rounded)

Isolate "x" onto one side:

5/3 * (6x+3) < 2x - 7

5(6x+3) < 3(2x-7)

30x + 15 < 6x - 21

24x < -36
