Answer:

t \approx 50.4\,min

Step-by-step explanation:

The time constant of the element X is:

\tau = \frac{13\,min}{\ln 2}

\tau = 18.755\,min

The decay function has the following form:

\frac{m}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }

t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}

t = -(13\,min)\cdot \ln \left(\frac{11\,g}{530\,g} \right)

t \approx 50.4\,min

Given that 6x – 5y = 14<br>Find x when y = 2​
Sloan [31]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x - 5y = 14 ← substitute y = 2 into the equation

6x - 5(2) = 14

6x - 10 = 14 ( add 10 to both sides )

6x = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 4

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 1/9 and 3/8. The product of the two factors is 3/ 72. Seeing the two factors on the other hand, we can cancel out 3. Hence the final answer to this problem in lowest terms becomes 1/24.
