62.5 mg sample will remain after 240 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Half-life = T = 60 days

The formula for calculating the quantity after n half lives is given by:

$N = N_0(\frac{1}{2})^n$

Here

N is the final amount

N_0 is the initial amount

n is the number of half lives passed

The number of half lives are calculated by dividing the time for which the remaining quantity has to be found by half life

The quantity has to be calculated for 240 days so,

$n = \frac{240}{60}\\n = 4$

Given

$N_0 = 1000\ mg$

Putting the values in the formula

$N = 1000 (\frac{1}{2})^4\\=1000 * \frac{1}{16}\\=\frac{1000}{16}\\=62.5\ mg$

Hence,

62.5 mg sample will remain after 240 days

2x+3y=1 and y=-2 - 9 solve using linear combination method. Please explain steps.

Answer:

$x=17$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+3y=1$

$y=-2-9$

In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value, $y$ . In this case, we need to isolate $y$ in the first equation so that both equations $=y$ .

$2x+3y=1$

$3y=-2x+1$

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x+1}{3}$

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

With this, we now know that both $-2-9$ and $-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$ are equal to $y$ , so we can set them equal to each other.

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

$y=-11$

$-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11$

Reply to this if anything I'm saying or doing is confusing in any way, or if you find a mistake. :) Solve for $x$ .

$-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11$

$-\frac{2}{3}x=-11-\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{33}{3}-\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{34}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x(-\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{34}{3}(-\frac{3}{2})$

$x=\frac{102}{6}=17$

$x=17$

Hopefully this answer is correct AND makes sense in terms of how I achieved it. Again, reply to this with any questions or mistakes I made and I'll do my best to answer or fix them.
