Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - y = 11 → (1)

x + 3y = - 5 → (2)

Multiply (1) by 3 and add to (2) to eliminate the y- term

6x - 3y = 33 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y, that is

7x = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 4

226Ra has a half-life of 1599 years. How much is left after 1000 years if the initial amount was 10 g?

Ray Of Light [21]

$\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}\\\\
A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{initial amount}\to &10\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &1000\\
h=\textit{half-life}\to &1599
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=10\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{1000}{1599}}$

Can anyone answer this question please<br> 6[y-2]/7-12=2[y-7]/3

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

y =47.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by the LCM of 7 and 3 which is 21:

21* 6[y-2]/7-21*12 = 21*2[y-7]/3

18(y - 2) - 252 = 14(y - 7)

18y -36 - 252 = 14y - 98

18y - 14y = -98 + 36 + 252

4y = 190

y = 190/4

y = 47.5.
