Answer:

15y

Step-by-step explanation:

first the 2 can cancel:

$\frac{2x}{2y} =16$

turns into:

$\frac{x}{y} =16$

now since we need to find x-y,

x=16y

16y-y=15y

I might come back to this because I'm not 100% sure this is the answer you are looking for. Let me know if you have any questions.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

<em>Peter now has 54 baseball cards</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

Assume Peter had x baseball cards in his collection. The 35% of his initial collection is

35 * x / 100= 0.35x

We know that those 14 new baseball cards represent a 35% of his previous collection, therefore we can set a simple equation

0.35x=14

When we solve for x, we'll know how many baseball cards Peter had before

x=14 / 0.35 = 40

Peter had 40 cards, he added 14 new baseball cards, so he now has 40+14=54

Peter now has 54 baseball cards

A 46 gram sample of a substance that is used to sterilize surgical instruments has a k-value of 0.1374. Find the substance's hal

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

$t=5.0days$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the exponential decay that is $N=N_{0}e^{-kt}$ , we have N= $\frac{1}{2}{\times}46=23$ , $N_{0}=46$ and k=0.1374.

Thus, $N=N_{0}e^{-kt}$ becomes

$23=46{\times}e^{-0.1374t}$

$\frac{23}{46}=e^{-0.1374t}$

$\frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.1374t}$

Taking log on both sides, we get

$ln(\frac{1}{2})={-0.1374t}$

$t=\frac{ln\frac{1}{2}}{-0.1}$

$t=\frac{-0.6931}{-0.1374}$

$t=5.0days$
