Answer:
- 1 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, simply divide 4 by -3. 4/-3 = -1 1/3, so that's your answer.
Notice that 50 minutes is twice the half-life.
After 25 minutes, half of the starting amount remains, so that 88g decays to 44g.
After another 25 minutes (a total of 50 minutes), the 44g will decay to 22g.

Z(t) = 40 + 20t
Isaac function:
I(t) = 85 + 11t

Answer:
Option D (4, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by various methods. I will be using the hit and trial method. I will plug in all the options in the both the given equations and see if they balance simultaneously.
Checking Option 1 by plugging (-4, -5) in the first equation:
-2(-4) + 6(-5) = -38 implies 8 - 30 = -38 (not true).
Checking Option 2 by plugging (-5, 4) in the first equation:
-2(-5) + 6(4) = -38 implies 10 + 24 = -38 (not true).
Checking Option 3 by plugging (1, -6) in the second equation:
3(1) - 4(-6) = 32 implies 3 + 24 = 32 (not true).
Since all the options except Option 4 have been ruled out, therefore, (4,-5) is the correct answer!!!
B = bees, w = wasps, x = hornets
b + w + x = 184
b = 3x - 9
w = x + 28
(3x - 9) + (x + 28) + x = 184...combine like terms
5x + 19 = 184
5x = 184 - 19
5x = 165
x = 165/5
x = 33 <== points scored by Hornets
