Answer:

7.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the time using the radioactive decay rate formula is given as:

t = t½ × In(Nt/No)/-In2

Where

t½ = half life = 6 minutes

No = Initial Amount = 260 grams

Nt = Amount after decay

= 113 grams

Hence:

t = 6 × In(113/260)/-In2

t = 7.2131331036796 minutes

Approximately = 7.2 minutes

What is the solution to this system of equations?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

x = -2, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are,

4x + 5y = 7 ---------(1)

3x - 2y = -12 ----------(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 3

12x + 15y = 21 ------(3)

Multiply equation (2) by (-4)

-12x + 8y = 48 --------(4)

Now add equations (3) and (4),

(12x + 15y) + (-12x + 8y) = 21 + 48

(12x - 12x) + (15y + 8y) = 69

23y = 69

y = 3

From equation (2),

3x - 2(3) = -12

3x - 6 = -12

3x = 6 - 12

x = -2

Therefore, x = -2 and y = 3 will be the answer.

Find the value of 2.<br> 47<br> (3x + 2)
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are equal so we can set 47 = 3x + 2

Now just solve the equation for x

47 = 3x + 2

Subtract 2 from each side

45 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

15 = x

The length of a rectangle is 6.7 more than 2 times the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 57.2 cm, what are its dimensi
Gemiola [76]
From the description, you can get two equation that looks like this:

L= 2*W+6.7cm
Perimeter= 57.2cm

Using perimeter formula, you can put the first and second equation like this:

perimeter= 2L + 2W
57.2cm= 2(2*W+ 6.7)+2W
57.2cm= 4W+ 13.4+ 2W
57.2- 13.4= 6W
W= 43.8/6= 7.3 cm

L= 2W+ 6.7
L= 2*7.3 + 6.7= 21.3
Answer: <span>A. Length=21.3 cm; width=7.3 cm</span>
