Answer:

B) -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(5/2)x + y = 2

x + (2/3)y = 4

y = 2 - (5/2)x

x + (2/3)(2 - (5/2)x) = 4

x + 4/3 - (5/3)x = 4

(-2/3)x = 8/3

-2x = 8

x = -4

Mr. Tragrr has $500.00 to spend at a bicycle store. All the prices listed down below include tax.

fgiga [73]

To answer the question, you need to determine the amount Mr. Traeger has left to spend, then find the maximum number of outfits that will cost less than that remaining amount.

Spent so far:

... 273.98 + 3×7.23 +42.36 = 338.03

Remaining available funds:

... 500.00 -338.03 = 161.97

The cycling outfits are about $80 (slightly less), and this amount is about $160 (slightly more), which is 2 × $80.

Mr. Traeger can buy two (2) cycling outfits with the remaining money.

_____

The remaining money is 161.97/78.12 = 2.0733 times the cost of a cycling outfit. We're sure he has no interest in purchasing a fraction of an outfit, so he can afford to buy 2 outfits.

A toxic radioactive substance with the density of 4 mg/cm² is detected in the been detected in the ventilating ducts that was us

Kruka [31]

The formula for half-life is:

$A = P(0.5)^{t/h}$

A is the amount remaining, P is the initial amount, t is the time that has passed, and h is the half-life of the substance. Plug in the values that you know and solve:

$4 = P(0.5)^{35/20} \\ \\ 4 = P(0.5)^{1.75} \\ \\ P = \frac{4}{0.5^{1.75}} \\ \\ P \approx 13.4543426441$

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the density of the substance was about 13mg / cm².
