Answer:
This is a radioactive decay / half-life problem.
Initial amount of C 14 = 100% Present Amount = 57%
k = .0001 (that value should be negative)
Nt = No * e^ (k*t)
You need to solve that equation for "time" (equation attached)
time = natural log (Ending amount / Starting Amount) / k
time = natural log (57% / 100%) / -.0001
time = ln (.57) / -.0001
time = -.56211891815 / -.0001
time = 5,621.2 years (age of the bird skeleton)
These problems are quite complicated but I think I know this pretty well.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -3
y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
2y = x - 13
3x = y - 1; let y = 3x + 1
substitute to solve for 'x':
2(3x + 1) = x - 13
6x + 2 = x - 13
5x + 2 = -13
5x = -15
x = -3
solve for 'y':
3(-3) = y - 1
-9 = y - 1
-8 = y
