------------------------------------------------------------
Define the two numbers
-----------------------------------------------------------
Let the first number be x.
Let the second number be y.

------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations and solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2y = 14 ------------------ (1)
2x + y = 31 ------------------ (2)

------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (1) x 2
------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 4y = 28  ---------------(1a)

------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (1a) - 2
------------------------------------------------------------
3y = 28 - 31
3y = -3
y = -1

------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = -1 into (1)
------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2(-1) = 14
x -2 = 14
x = 14 + 2
x = 16

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x =16, y = -1

A drug used to relieve anxiety and nervousness has a half-life of 16 hours. if a doctor prescribes one 2.8-milligram every 24 ho
dlinn [17]

After 24 hours, 35.4% of the initial dosage remains on the body.

<h3>What percentage of the last dosage remains?</h3>

The exponential decay is written as:

f(x) = A*e^{-k*x}

Where A is the initial value, in this case 2.8mg.

k is the constant of decay, given by the logarithm of 2 over the half life, in this case, is:

k = ln(2)/16h

Replacing all that in the above formula, and evaluating in x = 24 hours we get:

f(24h) = 2.8mg*e^{-24h*ln(2)/16h} = 0.9899 mg

The percentage of the initial dosage that remains is:

P = \frac{0.9899mg}{2.8mg}*100\% = 35.4\%
