Both y’s would automatically cancel so all you have left is 2x=10. divide 2 on each side and the 2s on the left cancel. 10/2=5 so x=5. then substitute the 5 into either equation (preferably x+y=4). then subtract 5 on each side and the 5s on the left again cancels out. so you have y=4-5 and y= -1. hope this helps you!!

An element with mass 800 grams decays by 8.2% per day. How much of the element is remaining after 15 days,

Serjik [45]

Given:

The initial mass of an element is 800 grams.

Decay rate = 8.2% per day

Number of days = 15

To find:

The remaining element after 15 days.

Solution:

The exponential decay model is

$y=a(1-r)^t$

Where, a is the initial value r is the rate of interest and t is time period.

Putting $a=800,r=0.082,t=15$ in the above formula, we get

$y=800(1-0.082)^{15}$

$y=800(0.918)^{15}$

$y=221.68188$

$y\approx 221.7$

Therefore, the mass of the remaining element is 221.7 grams.

How much should a family deposit at the end of every 6 months in order to have $4000 at the end of 3 years? The account pays 5.9

ra1l [238]

We are asked to determine the present value of an annuity that is paid at the end of each period. Therefore, we need to use the formula for present value ordinary, which is:

$PV_{ord}=C(\frac{1-(1+i)^{-kn}}{\frac{i}{k}})$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} C=\text{ payments each period} \\ i=\text{ interest rate} \\ n=\text{ number of periods} \\ k=\text{ number of times the interest is compounded} \end{gathered}$

Since the interest is compounded semi-annually this means that it is compounded 2 times a year, therefore, k = 2. Now we need to convert the interest rate into decimal form. To do that we will divide the interest rate by 100:
