A half-life of 9 minutes corresponds to a decay factor <em>k</em> such that

\dfrac12=e^{9k}\implies k=-\dfrac19\ln\left(\dfrac12\right)

Then the time it takes for the substance to decay from 610 g to 124 g is time <em>t </em>such that

124\,\mathrm g=(610\,\mathrm g)e^{kt}

Solve for <em>t</em> :

\dfrac{62}{305}=e^{kt}

\ln\left(\dfrac{62}{305}\right)=kt

t=\dfrac1k\ln\left(\dfrac{62}{305}\right)\approx20.686

so it takes about 20.7 min for the 610 g sample to decay down to 124 g.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Length\ of\ the\ long\ piece=40\ meters\\\\Length\ of\ the\ short\ piece=17\ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "s" the length in meters of the short piece and "l" the lenght in meters of the long piece.

Set up a system of equations:

\left \{ {{s+l=57} \atop {s=l-23}} \right.

Apply the Substitution Method to solve the system. Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for "l":

(l-23)+l=57\\\\2l=80\\\\l=\frac{80}{2}\\\\l=40

Susbstitute the value of "l" into the second equation in order to find the value of "s". This is:

s=40-23\\\\s=17

Lianne charged twice as much to walk a large dog than she did to walk a small dog. This week she had time to was 10 small dogs a
guapka [62]
Well she charged twice as much to walk large then small. Let s be small and l be large.
We we know that
l = 2s

we also know that she wants to make 100 so
xl + ys = 100

Where where x is number of large and y is number of small. it says she walked 10 small and 5 large so
5l + 10s = 100

substitute 2s for l because they are same value as shown in first equation I made
5 (2s) + 10s = 100
10s + 10s = 100
20s = 100
s = 5

we can now solve for l
l = 2s
l = 2 * 5
l = 10

So s is 5 and l is 10.
