If m + n = 7 and 2n - 3m = 6, what is the value of 3n - 2m ?

Since m + n = 7 we know m = 7-n. So now we have 2n - 3(7-n) = 6. From this we get n = -3. So now we know m - 3 = 7 so m = 10. So now we have 3(-3) + 2(10) = ? and this comes out as 11

m + n = 7 then m = 7 - n
2n - 3m = 6

substitute m = 7 - n into 2n - 3m = 6
2n - 3m = 6
2n - 3(7 - n) = 6
2n - 21 + 3n = 6
5n - 21 = 6
5n = 27
n = 27/5
n = 5.4

m + n = 7
m = 7 - n
m = 7 - 5.4
m = 1.6

now you have m = 1.6 and n = 5.4
you can find the value of 3n - 2m

3n - 2m
=3(5.4) - 2(1.6)
= 16.2 - 3.2
= 13

a 23 gram sample of a substance thats a by-product of fireworks has a K-value of .13. whats the substances half life in days

nata0808 [166]

Given:
Initial mass, m₀ = 23 g
Decay constant, k = 0.13

Exponential decay obeys the equation
$m(t)=m_{0} e^{-kt}$
where t = time, days

For half life, the mass is m = m₀/2.
Therefore
$e^{-0.13t} = \frac{1}{2} \\ -0.13t = ln(0.5)\\t= \frac{ln(0.5)}{-0.13} =5.33$

Answer: The half life is 5.33 days

The equation x+53=15 can be solved by performing two operations on both sides.

Wewaii [24]

Hey!

You're right! This equation can definitely be solved by performing two operations on both sides. Let me show you how it's done.

First, let's write out our equation.

Original Equation :
x + 53 = 15

Now that that's done, we'll be performing two operations on both sides. The operation we'll want to do is subtracting both sides of the equation by 53. We do this to get x on its own.

Original Equation :
x + 53 = 15

New Equation {Added Subtract 53 to Both Sides} :
x + 53 - 53 = 15 - 53

Now we have to solve the equation. Let's do the left side first.

Left Side of the Equation :
x + 53 - 53

Left Side of the Equation {Solved} :
x

Now, we'll solve the right side of the equation.

Right Side of the Equation :
15 - 53

Right Side of the Equation {Solved} :
-38

Now we can put both solutions to both sides of the equation together.

New Equation :
x = -38

Since this cannot be simplified any farther, this is our final answer. And that's it!

So, now we know that in the equation x + 53 = 15, x = -38

Hope this helps!

Answer:

around like 33.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is take the number of hours times the amount of money per hour ( so like the equation would look like y=5x) and since the 45 minutes isn't a full hour it shouldn't matter. Just in case though we'll consider the 45 minutes and make it a .7 and multiply that by 5 as well and we get 3.5. Now we just take 5*6+3.5 and bang.
