The easiest way to solve this problem is to put (2, -5) into both equations and see if it satisfies/works for both of them. 2 = x and -5 = y.

So for <span>2x + 5y = -19, 
</span><span>2(2) + 5(-5) = -19
4 - 25 = -19
-21 </span><span>≠ -19.

You can continue and try it out for </span><span>6y - 8x = -54 
6(-5) - 8(2) = -54
-30 - 16 = -54
-46</span> ≠ -54

But since (2, -5) already doesn't work for one equation, it cannot be a solution to the system of equations.

A certain radioactive isotope decays at a rate of 2% per 100 years. if t represents time in years and y represents the amount of
gregori [183]
We rewrite the equation:
 y = y0 * e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)
 In this equation:
 I = represents the initial amount of the isotope
 We have then:
 89% of the isotope left:
 0.89 * y0 = y0 * e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)
 We clear the time:
 e ^ (- 0.0002 * t) = 0.89
 Ln (e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)) = Ln (0.89)
 -0.0002 * t = Ln (0.89)
 t = Ln (0.89) / (- 0.0002)
 t = 582.6690813
 round to the nearest year:
 t = 583 years
 Answer:
 
There will be 89% of the isotope left in about:
 
t = 583 years

Answer:

I got 2,717.45

Step-by-step explanation:

I did 2,363 × 15% = 354.45

then 2,363 + 354.45 = 2,717.45

The equation x 2y = 16 is in standard form. what is the slope of the line? â€""2 â€""1 â€""0.5 0.5
Savatey [412]

By rewriting the given line, we can see that the slope is equal to -1/2 or -0.5

<h3>How to get the slope of the given line?</h3>

Remember that a line is:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line, which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis.

Then, we can rewrite our equation:

x + 2y = 16

to:

2y = 16 - x

y = (16 - x)/2

y = (-1/2)*x + 8

Comparing with the general line equation, we can see that the slope is -1/2.
