Answer:

a=2(s-5)

a(your age): 20

Step-by-step explanation:

a stands for your age

s stands for sister

a=2(s-5)

1-substitute 15 for s a=2(15-5)

2- a=2(10)

the 15-5 stands for sisters age minus five which gives you brothers age, 10. You multiply it by two because your brother is half your age.

3-a=20

check your work:

because your brother is 10 and you are 20, he is half your age (10/20 can be simplified to 1/2)

Hope this helped, if you have any other questions please lmk!

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

  t=5.0days

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the exponential decay that is N=N_{0}e^{-kt}, we have N=\frac{1}{2}{\times}46=23, N_{0}=46 and k=0.1374.

Thus, N=N_{0}e^{-kt} becomes

23=46{\times}e^{-0.1374t}

\frac{23}{46}=e^{-0.1374t}

\frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.1374t}

Taking log on both sides, we get

ln(\frac{1}{2})={-0.1374t}

t=\frac{ln\frac{1}{2}}{-0.1}

t=\frac{-0.6931}{-0.1374}

t=5.0days
