1/5(x-y) = 1
x+y = 9

x-y = 5 (x5)
x+y = 9

First you want to create both equations so at least one of the variables (x or y) are the same in both equations, so that is why I multiplied the top one by 5, you multiply the whole equation (both sides)

2x = 14
x = 7

Then you either Plus or minus one from the other, I plused the top one onto the bottom one, then solved for x

7 + y = 9
y = 2

Then put x back into one of the first two equations to get Y

Determine the value of the variable. 5 + 17 = J - 14
Nataly_w [17]
You would add 5 and 17 and that would equal 22
Now it would be 22=J-14
Then add 14 on both sides so it cancels out 22 plus 14 is 36
So J would equal 36

A certain substance has a half-life of 4 minutes. A fresh sample of the substance weighing 90 mg was obtained. After how many mi
sveticcg [70]
  • We are to find the time (number of minutes) is would take for 23 mg of the substance to be remaining.

  • The formula for time is written as:

t =  [t1/2 x In(Nt/No)]  / In 2

where:

t1/2 = Half life = 4 minutes

No = Initial quantity of the sample = 90 mg

Nt = Amount of the sample left = 23 mg

t =  time elapsed = ?

Hence,

t = [4 x In (23/90)] / -In 2

t = 7.8731645610906 minutes

Approximately to the nearest hundredth = 7.87 minutes

Therefore, there will be 23mg of substance remaining after 7.87 minutes.
