x = long piece

y = short piece

 x = 2y+1

2y +1 +y =16

3y +1 = 16

3y =15

y = 15/3 =5

 y = 5

x = 2(5) +1 = 11

short piece is 5 feet

long piece is 11 feet

natka813 [3]

Answer:

At time, 10 seconds, the mass remaining is 24 grams

At time, 20 seconds, the mass remaining is 12 grams

At time, 30 seconds, the mass remaining is 6 grams

At time, 40 seconds, the mass remaining is 3 grams

At time, 50 seconds, the mass remaining is 1.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial mass of the radioactive element  = 48 grams

half life, t = 10 seconds

time of decay (s)                          remaining mass of the  radioactive element

0 ------------------------------------------------- 48 grams

10------------------------------------------------- 24 grams

20 ------------------------------------------------- 12 grams

30 -------------------------------------------------- 6 grams

40 --------------------------------------------------- 3 grams

50 ----------------------------------------------------- 1.5 grams

60------------------------------------------------------0.75 grams

Thus;

At time, 10 seconds, the mass remaining is 24 grams

At time, 20 seconds, the mass remaining is 12 grams

At time, 30 seconds, the mass remaining is 6 grams

At time, 40 seconds, the mass remaining is 3 grams

At time, 50 seconds, the mass remaining is 1.5 grams

Llana [10]
Q = 3s - 9/6
q = 3(s - 3)/6
q = s - 3/2

6q + 9 = 3s
6q + 9/3 = s
3(2q + 3)/3 = s
2q + 3 = s
s = 2q + 3
