Answer:

27.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ------------------ Equation 1

From the equation,

R = mass of Element X before radioactive decay, R' = mass of element X after radioactive decay, a = Time taken, b = half life.

Given: R = 870 grams, R' = 154 grams, b = 11 minutes.

Substitute these values into equation 1

870/154 = 2ᵃ/¹¹

(870/154)¹¹ = 2ᵃ

Solve for a

2ᵃ = (5.649)¹¹

2ᵃ = 187061.26

Taking the logarithm of both side,

Log2ᵃ = Log(187061.26)

⇒ a = log(187061.26)/log2

a = 8.272/0.301

a = 27.5 minutes

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

First day (a) = 1

1 more pebble every subsequent day than the previous day

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

d = common difference ; difference between pebbles in two successive days = 1

n = nth day

At the end of the 12th day;

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

T(12) = 1 + (12 - 1) 1

T(12) = 1 + 11

T(12) = 12

Appling the sun if arithmetic progression formula : Sum of AP:

n/2 (a + Tn)

n = number of terms

12/2 (1 + 12)

6(13)

= 78

Nimfa-mama [501]
The answer is 5x-59
To get this answer you have to follow pemdas and remember you can’t add variables to non variables, so you just expand the equation
As an example
5x + 6 -2x +7

You would get
13-3x
