Add 5 to both sides
5-5+x/3=5-11
0+x/3=-6
x/3=-6
times both sides by 3
3x/3=-18
x=-18
Answer: 41.5 min
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved with the Radioactive Half Life Formula:
(1)
Where:
is the final amount of the radioactive element
is the initial amount of the radioactive element
is the time elapsed
is the half life of the radioactive element
So, we need to substitute the given values and find from (1):
(2)
(3)
(4)
Applying natural logarithm in both sides:
(5)
(6)
Clearing :
This is the time elapsed
Answer: (13 + y) / 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Grandma Gertrude gave 13 pieces of jewelry and Grandma Fien gave y pieces of jewelry to the Carlson sisters, the total jewellery given to the sisters will be:
= 13 + y
Since there are 5 Carlson sisters, the number of pieces of jewelry that each sister receive will be:
= Total jewelries / Number of sisters
= (13 + y) / 5
