Answer:

1758 years

Step-by-step explanation:

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log No/N

t1/2 = half life of the C-14

t= time taken

No= amount of radioactive material originally present

N= amount of isotope after time t.

But N= 0.81 No

0.693/5715= 2.303/t log No/0.81No

0.00012 = 0.211/t

t =0.211 /0.00012

t= 1758 years

Find the solution to the system of equations: x + 3y = 7 and 2x + 4y = 8 1. Isolate x in the first equation: 2. Substitute the v
klemol [59]
X + 3y = 7
x = -3y + 7

2x + 4y = 8
2(-3y + 7) + 4y = 8
-6y + 14 + 4y = 8
-2y = 8 - 14
-2y = - 6
y = -6/-2
y = 3

x + 3y = 7
x + 3(3) = 7
x + 9 = 7
x = 7 - 9
x = -2

solution is (-2,3)
