I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
I hope this helped!
Answer:
<u>x = 1.07</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
13 ( 6x - 9) = -33
78x - 117 = -33 ( opening brackets and multiplying )
78x = 84 ( - 117 taken to the other side makes it positive)
x = 84 / 78
x = <u>1.07</u>
Given:
Initial mass, m₀ = 23 g
Decay constant, k = 0.13
Exponential decay obeys the equation
where t = time, days
For half life, the mass is m = m₀/2.
Therefore
Answer: The half life is 5.33 days
