The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following...
Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".

600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²

The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length

y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>

The​ half-life of radium is 1690 years. If 20 grams are present​ now, how much will be present in 250 ​years?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

  18.05 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of the initial quantity is ...

  (1/2)^(t/1690)

so, for t=250, this becomes ...

  (1/2)^(250/1690) ≈ 0.902545

Then the quantity remaining of the initial 20 g is ...

  (20 g)(0.902545) ≈ 18.05 g

zvonat [6]

Answer:

598=194+8x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve you would subtract 194 from its self and 598

598=194+8x

-194  -194

404=8x

then you would divide 8 from it's self and 404

which would make it 50.5

(but you cant buy half a package of spoons so realistically it'd be 50 or 51.

hope this helped :)

A glass is
serg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4/7 x + 70 cm^3 = 3/4 x          Subtract 4/7 x from both sides

3/4 x - 4/7 x = 70 cm^3          The lowest common denominator is 28

\frac{3*7*x}{4*7} - \frac{4*4x}{4*7} = 70 cc\\\frac{21*x}{28} - \frac{16*x}{28} = 70 cc\\\frac{5x}{28}= 70cc\\

5x = 70*28

5x = 1960                                Divide by 5

x = 1960/5

x = 392 cc

What is the value of x?<br><br> 8x−10−4x=−12(12x−20)
madreJ [45]
What is the value of X?

Simplify:
8x - 10 - 4x =   - 12(12x - 20)


Simplify both sides:
8x - 10 - 4x =  - 12(12x -20)

8x +  - 10 +  - 4x  = (- 12)(12x) + ( -12)(- 20)
(Distribute:)
8x +  - 10 +  - 4x = 144x 240

(8x +  - 4x) + ( -10) =  - 144x + 240 (Combine Like Terms:)

4x +  - 10 =  - 144x + 240

4x - 10 =  - 144x + 240

Add - 144x to both sides:

4x - 10 +  144x =   - 144x + 240 + 144x

148x - 10 = 240


Add 10 to both sides:

148x - 10 + 10 = 240 + 10

148x = 250

Divide both sides by 148

148x/148 = 250/148

x = 125/74


Answer:  x = 125/74 (Decimal: 1.689189)



Hope that helps!!!!
