Answer:

20,000 particles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that the amount if radioactive particles has come down to 40,000 from 80,000 in 80 years . Hence by the definition of Half Life,the half life of the item is 80 years.

Now we are asked to guess the number of radioactive particles after 80 years. As we already know that , the half life of material is 80 years , the number of radioactive particles will be reduced to its half in 80 years. Hence the number of radioactive particles after 80 years is 20,000

liq [111]
Lets write an equation for each guy's shots and score:
4A + 2B = 18
3A + 3B = 21
To solve we multiply the first equation by -3 and the second by 2:
-12A - 6B = -54
  6A + 6B = 42
--------------------
-12A + 0 = -12
A = 1
to find B we substitute in the first equation:
<span>4A + 2B = 18
</span><span>4(1) + 2B = 18
</span><span>4 + 2B = 18
</span>2B = 14
B = 7
therefore there were given 7 points in an arrow in B

A special type of password consists of 3 different letters of the alphabet, and the two different numbers, where each letter and
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

There can be 14,040,000 different passwords

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of permutations to order 3 letters and 2 numbers (total 5)

(AAANN, AANNA,AANAN,...)

= 5! / (3! 2!)

= 120 / (6*2)

= 10

For each permutation, the three distinct (English) letters can be arranged in

26!/(26-3)! = 26!/23! = 26*25*24 = 15600 ways

For each permutation, the two distinct digits can be arranged in

10!/(10-2)! = 10!/8! = 10*9 = 90 ways.

So the total number of distinct passwords is the product of all three permutations,

N = 10 * 15600 * 90 = 14,040,000

Solve by substitution x-y=-11 y+7=-2x
Bess [88]

x - y = - 11   .............( 1 )

y + 7 = - 2x ...............( 2 )

from equation ( 1 )

x - y = - 11

x   = -11 + y  ...........( 3)      

putting x in equation  ( 2 )

y + 7 = - 2 x  

y  + 7 = -2 ( -11 + y )             y + 7 = 22 - 2 y                       y + 2 y =22 - 7            

3 y = 15                  y = 15 / 3

putting value of y in equation 3

x   = -11+ ( 13 /5 )                       x = -33 /3 + 15 / 3         ( l.c.m)

x  = -17 / 5                      

check      

x = -11 + y

- 17 / 5 = -11 + 13 / 5

-17 /5   = -17 / 5
