How many solutions does the equation 6(x -2) = 8 + 6x have?

Answer:

There are no solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify the equation.

<u>6(x - 2)</u> = 8 + 6x

Distribute.

6x - 12 = 8 + 6x

Adding 8 to a number and subtracting 12 from the same number to get the same answer doesn't make sense so there are no solutions.

Answer:

w=9z

Step-by-step explanation:

For each z value, w is 9 times that. For instance, 18 is 9 times 2, and 45 is 9 times 5. Therefore, the equation that would describe this is w=9z. Hope this helps!

A breeder reactor converts uranium-238 into an isotope of plutonium-239 at a rate proportional to the amount of uranium-238 pres

topjm [15]

Let $U(t)$ denote the amount of uranium-238 in the reactor at time $t$ . As conversion to plutonium-239 occurs, the amount of uranium will decrease, so the conversion rate is negative. Because the rate is proportional to the current amount of uranium, we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dU}{\mathrm dt}=-kU$

where $k>0$ is constant. Separating variables and integrating both sides gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dU}U=-k\,\mathrm dt\implies\ln|U|=-kt+C\implies U=Ce^{-kt}$

Suppose we start some amount $u$ . This means that at time $t=0$ we have $U(0)=u$ , so that

$u=Ce^{-0k}\implies C=u\implies U=ue^{-kt}$

We're given that after 10 years, 99.97% of the original amount of uranium remains. This means (if $t$ is taken to be in years) for some starting amount $u$ ,

$0.9997u=ue^{-10k}\implies k=-\dfrac{\ln(0.9997)}{10}$

The half-life is the time $t_{1/2}$ it takes for the starting amount $u$ to decay to half, $0.5u$ :

$0.5u=ue^{-kt_{1/2}}\implies t_{1/2}=-\dfrac{\ln(0.5)}k=\dfrac{10\ln2}{\ln(0.9997)}$

or about 23,101 years. Notice that it doesn't matter what the actual starting amount is, the half-life is independent of that.

Graph a right triangle with the two points 4,5 and -4,8

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write points using parentheses: (4, 5) and (-4, 8}.

(4, 5) is in the 1st quadrant and (-4, 8} is in the 2nd. Reversing the order of these two points yields (-4, 8) and (4, 5). From this we can see that while moving from (-4, 8) to (4, 5) involves following a line with negative slope (because the y-coordinate decreases from 8 to 5 as the x-coordinate increases from -4 to +4). This sloping line is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Draw a vertical line segment through (-4, 8) and a horizontal line segment through (4, 5). This hypotenuse, the vertical line segment and the horizontal line segment are the boundaries of the desired right triangle.

There are 278 houses in Hannah's neighborhood. She collected a total of $780 from her neighbors to donate for a local charity. H

ser-zykov [4K]

First, we need to find out how many houses that Hannah received money from. We can do this by dividing the total amount of money she received by the amount she received per house.

780 / 5 = 156

Hannah received money from 156 houses.
To find the amount of houses she did NOT collect money from, we just need to subtract the amount of houses that she DID receive money from away from the total amount of houses in her neighborhood.

278 - 156 = 122

Hannah did not collect money from 122 houses.
Hope this helped! =)
