20 < 12 ⋅ x = 64

This is somewhat of a false equation though, due to the left side "20" is not less than the right side "12 ", which means that the given statement is false.

So I switched it up and made the variable "12"

12 < 20 ⋅ x = 64

12x - 20 = 64

12x = 64 + 20

12x = 84

12x⁄12 = 84⁄12

x = 7

I hope this helps, as always. I wish you the best of luck and have a nice day, friend..

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a

VMariaS [17]

(a) If $y(t)$ is the mass (in mg) remaining after $t$ years, then $y(t) = y(0) e^{kt}=100e^{kt}.$

$y(30) = 100 e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2}(100) \implies e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2} \implies k = -(\ln 2) /30 \implies \\ \\
y(t) = 100e^{-(\ln 2)t/30} = 100 \cdot 2^{-t/30}$

(b) $y(100) = 100 \cdot 2^{-100/30} \approx \text{9.92 mg}$

(c)
$100 e^{- (\ln 2)t/30} = 1\ \implies\ -(\ln 2) t / 30 = \ln \frac{1}{100}\ \implies\ \\ \\
t = -30 \frac{\ln 0.01}{\ln 2} \approx \text{199.3 years}$

Find three consecutive even integers such that 4 times the third integer is 4 more than the 3 times the first integer plus two t

musickatia [10]

Let lowest integer be n then

4(n + 4) = 3n + 2(n + 2) + 4

4n + 16 = 5n + 8
8 = n

so three integers are 8,10 and 12.

Find the value of y for the following system of equations 5x + 3y = 10 x = y - 6

viktelen [127]

Answer:

x = -1 , y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)

x = y - 6 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)

x - y = -6 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)

0 x - (8 y)/5 = -8 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -5/8:

{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{5 x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -1 , y = 5
