ANSWER

x = 6

y =  - 11

EXPLANATION

The given system of equations is

y =  - 3x + 7...(1)

and

x =  - 2y  - 16...(2)

We substitute equation (1) into equation (2) to get;

x =  - 2( - 3x + 7) - 16

x = 6x  - 14- 16

We group similar terms

x - 6x =  - 14 - 16

- 5x =  - 30

Divide both sides by -5.

x =6

Put x=6 into equation (1).

y =  - 3(6) + 7

y =  - 18 + 7

y =  - 11

Answer:

x = 6 and y = -11  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : System of linear equation

y=−3x+7

x=−2y−16

We have to solve the system of equations using the substitution method.

In substitution method, we substitute the value of one variable in term of other and solve for it.

Consider the given system of linear equation

y = −3x + 7  ...(1)

x = −2y − 16 .....(2)

Substitute, (2) in (1), we get,

y = -3(-2y - 16) + 7

Simplify , we get,

y = 6y + 48 + 7

6y - y = - 55

5y = -55

y = -11

Substitute y = -11 in (2), we get,

x = −2(-11) − 16 = 22 - 16 =  6

thus, x = 6

Thus , x = 6 and y = -11

In the late nineteenth century, the scientist Marie Curie performed experiments that led to the discovery of radioactive substan
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactive substance to reduce of half of its original size

If the half life of radium is 1600, this means that the original radioactive substance N0 have reduced to N0/2 after 1600 years

if we are given N0 = 1000grams

The amount of the substance that will remain after 1600 years will be N0/2 i.e 1000/2 = 500g

<em>Hence 500 grams of radium will be left after 600years</em>
