I think you forgot to add the picture.
1st question
$23,760-(4000+6000)=$13,760
$13,760 x 4%=$ 550.40
2nd question
$43,300-(2000+2000)= $39,300
$39,300 x 5%= $1,965
1: 2y+12
2: 6 +6 -2
+12 -2
= 10
Answer:
x = -7/40
, y = -11/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)
4 x + 6 y = -4 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+(20 y)/3 = (-11)/3 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 3:
{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+20 y = -11 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 2 by 20:
{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = (-11)/20 | (equation 2)
Add 2 × (equation 2) to equation 1:
{12 x+0 y = (-21)/10 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -11/20 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 12:
{x+0 y = (-7)/40 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -11/20 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -7/40
, y = -11/20
We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (
