Answer:

x = 13 and y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 18

x - y = 8

Step 1: Find y

x = 18 - y

(18 - y) - y = 8

18 - y - y - 18 = 8 - 18

-2y / -2 = -10 / -2

y = 5

Step 2: Plug into x + y = 18 to get x

x + 5 - 5 = 18 - 5

x = 13

Answer: x = 13 and y = 5

A population of bacteria is initially 2,000. After three hours the population is 1,000.

lina2011 [118]

The population starts at 2000, so a=2000.

We also know that the population in 3 hours is 1000, so we can setup the equation:

2000 b^3 = 1000

This gets us:

b^3 = 1/2

And taking the cube root of both sides gives us:

b ≈ 0.7937005259841

Rounding that to 4 places, we have:

f(t) = 2000 (0.7937)^t

Laura is bowling 5 games. Her first 4 scores were 118, 128, 124, and 98. To end up with an average score of at least 123.2, what

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

148

Step-by-step explanation:

Average = sum of numbers /total numbers

let x = 5th number

123.2 = (118+ 128 + 124,+ 98 + x) / 5

123.2 = (468 + x) / 5

Multiply both sides by 5

616 = 468 + x

x = 148

What is the mass (in grams) of 8.11×1026 CO2 molecules?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

It is 59,275.74 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

• Molecular mass of carbon dioxide

$= (12 \times 1) + (16 \times 2) \\ = 12 + 32 \\ = 44 \: g$

[ molar masses: C = 12 g, O = 16 g ]

• From avogadro's number, it says 1 mole contains 6.02 × 10^23 molecules or atoms.

But 1 mole is equivalent to its molar mass in terms of weight, therefore;

${ \sf{6.02 \times {10}^{23} \: molecules = 44 \: g }}\\ { \sf{8.11 \times {10}^{26} \: molecules =( \frac{8.11 \times {10}^{26} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \times 44) \: g}} \\ \\ = { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{59275.7 \: \: g}}}}$
