the weight of the substance after 28 years is 8 grams.

<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>

We have that the half life of a substance is defined as the time required for the substance to decrease by half

The formula for calculating the half - life of a material is given as;

N(t) = N0 (\frac{1}{2} )^\frac{t}{t^\frac{1}{2} }

Where

  • N(t) is final amount
  • No is the initial amount = 128 grams
  • t1/2 is the half life = 7 years
  • t is the time elapsed = 28 years

Substitute into the formula

N(t) = 128 × (0. 5) ^28/ 7

N (t) = 128 × ( 0. 5) ^ 4

N(t) = 128 × 0. 0625

N(t) = 8 grams

Thus, the weight of the substance after 28 years is 8 grams.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equation? 2x+ 3y=6 <br> -3x+5y=10
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

<h3>x = (-2)</h3><h3>y = 2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 6________( 1 )

-3x + 5y = 10_______( 2 )

( 1 ) × 3 ---- 6x + 9y = 18_____( 3 )

( 2 ) × 2 ---- -6x + 10y = 20_____( 4 )

(4)  +  (3) \\ 6x + 9y  +  ( - 6x + 10y) = 20 - 18 \\ 6x + 9y  -  6x - 10y = 2 \\ y = 2

y = 2 ,

2x + 3y = 6 \\ 2x + 3(2) = 2 \\ 2x + 6 = 2 \\ 2x = 2 - 6 \\ 2x =  - 4 \\x =  \frac{ - 4}{2}  \\ x = ( - 2) \\

Digiron [165]

Answer:

85.95  km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Alberto ran 45 kilometers on Monday.

On Tuesday, he runs 91% of the distance he ran on Monday.

We need to find how far did he run on Tuesday. It can be given by :

T=45+45\times \dfrac{91}{100}\\\\=85.95\ km

So, he run 85.95  km on Tuesday.

Which of the following is equal to the rational expression when x -2 or -6?
kykrilka [37]

The given expression is

f(x) = \frac{3(x+2}{(x+2)(x+6)}

And since we have x+2 common in numerator and denominator, there is a hole at x+2=0, that is at x=-2

And a function is undefined when denominator is zero. And at x=-6, denominator become zero.

So, at x=-6, the function is undefined, or there is a vertical asymptote at x=-6 and hole at x=-2 .
