<span>The answer is 9,990 years. Using the exponential decay question, we can figure out how long it will take Plutonium-240 to decay from 27 grams to 9 grams. Setting the equation up looks like this, 9 = 27 e^ (-0.00011 t). From this you get, 0.333333 = e ^(-0.00011 t). Next, you simplify by dividing both sides by the natural log, -1.0986 = -0.00011 t. Finally, you solve by dividing both sides by -0.00011, giving 9,987 years for t, rounded up to 9,990 years.</span>

hamburgers cost $2 per lbs and chicken costs $3 lbs and you only have $30 to spend and expect At least 3lbs of hamburger​
kicyunya [14]

If you want at least 3 pounds of hamburgers, then $6 is enough to buy those 3 pounds of hamburgers. If you ONLY buy 3 Pounds, then you also have enough for 4 pounds of chicken. $3 a pound x 4 = $12. You have 2 dollars left to spare, which means you can buy another pound of hamburgers. So 4 pounds each are able to be purchased.

Help please! I need to write 4y =-3x + 12 in standard form, find the y-intercept of the previous equation, as an ordered pair, a
damaskus [11]

Answer:

-3x+4y=12\\y-intercept: (0,3)\\x-intercept: (-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation is ax+by=c, where a , b, and c are constants in the equation.

Based on the equation you have provided, the standard form would be -3x+4y=12, where a=-3, b=4, c=12.

To find the y-intercept, set x=0.

-3(0)+4y=12\\0+4y=12\\4y=12\\y=\frac{12}{4} =3

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0,3).

Do the same thing for the x-intercept, but this time with y=0.

-3x+4(0)=12\\-3x+0=12\\-3x=12\\x=\frac{12}{-3} =-4

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-4,0).
