Suppose y=0. That means 
<span>x+z = 18 </span>
<span>x-z = 26/5 </span>

<span>x = 58/5 </span>
<span>z = 32/5 </span>

<span>So, the largest x can be is 58/5 </span>
<span>Now, suppose we toss in y. If we subtract y/2 from both x and z, then the difference between x and z is still 26/5, and the sum is </span>

<span>(x-y/2) + y + (z-y/2) = x+z = 18 </span>

<span>For example, if y = 4, </span>

<span>x = 48/5 </span>
<span>y = 20/5 </span>
<span>z = 22/5 </span>

<span>x-z is still 26/5, and the sum is still 18. </span>

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactive substance to reduce of half of its original size

If the half life of radium is 1600, this means that the original radioactive substance N0 have reduced to N0/2 after 1600 years

if we are given N0 = 1000grams

The amount of the substance that will remain after 1600 years will be N0/2 i.e 1000/2 = 500g

<em>Hence 500 grams of radium will be left after 600years</em>
