Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 26 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample

of Element X is 390 grams, how long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 260 grams, to the nearest tenth of a year?​

Answer:

It will take 15.029 years for element X to reach mass of 260 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life period of radioactive element X is 26 years

The initial mass of radioactive element X is 260 grams

Elapsed time = half life * log (beginning amount /ending amount)/log 2

Substituting the given values, we get

Elapsed time = 26 * log (390/260)/log 2

=  15.209 years

Determine whether the system of linear equations has one and only one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. 4x -
zepelin [54]

Answer:it has one and only one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is expressed as

4x - 5y = 24 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

2x + 3y = -10 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2. It becomes

4x - 5y = 24

4x + 6y = - 20

Subtracting, it becomes

- 11y = 44

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by

- 11, it becomes

- 11y/- 11 = 44/- 11

y = - 4

Substituting y = - 4 into equation 2, it becomes

2x + 3 × - 4 = -10

2x - 12 = - 10

2x = - 10 + 12

2x = 2

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by

2, it becomes

2x/2 = 2/2

x = 1
