First, isolate x in x-4y=11 because 1 is x's coefficient.
x-4y=11
x=11+4y
Now, substitute 4y+11 for x in 5x-7y=-10.
5x-7y=-10
5(4y+11)-7y=-10
20y+55-7y=-10
Add all coefficients.
13y+55=-10
Isolate y by subtracting 55 from both sides.
13y+55=-10
13y=-10-55
13y=-65
y=-5
Now substitute -5 for y in your first equation.
x=11+4y
x=11+4(-5)
x=11-20
x=-9
Your answer would be (-9,-5).

Answer:

$t \approx 750550.12\,yr$

Step-by-step explanation:

The time constant of the isotope is:

$\tau = \frac{1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 1.876 \times 10^{9}\,yr$

The decay of the isotope is described by the following model:

$\frac{m}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

Now, the time is cleared in the equation:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}$

$t = - (1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.9996$

$t \approx 750550.12\,yr$

Y = a(x + 2)(x - 3) : equation of the parabola in factored form 10 = a(5 + 2)(5 - 2) : (5 , 10) is a point on the graph of the parabola and therefore satisfies the equation of the parabola. a = 5/7: solve the above equation for a.
