Answer:

1.0 gram (rounded from .98)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, this is an exponential equation, which are of the form a*b^x where a is the initial amount and b is the decay (or growth) rate.  a is easy, 430, b though you have to make sure it is in decimal form.  So for percent form (like you have) just move the decimal place to the left two times, so 27.4% becomes .274.

Now we have the equation 430*.274^x which shows the scenario listed.  just plug in 19 for x.  

Do keep in mind if they were different units, like t decayed for 19 hours, you would have to convert those too.  Let me know if you need more of an explanation.

Our system is the following :
z+w-3=k\\
6z-10w=k,\\\text{Solve the first equation for z like this:} \\z=k-w+3\\\text{Substitute in the second equation like this:}\\6(k-w+3)-10w=k\\6k-16w+18=k\\16w=6k+18-k\\w=\frac{1}{16}(6k+18-k)

As you see, the system has only one solution whenever the value of k is. Unlike you have not well written the system.

A particular convex pentagon has two congruent, acute angles. The measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the s
NNADVOKAT [17]

1. First, you must apply the formula for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is shown below:


 (n-2) × 180°


 "n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).


 2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:


 (5-2)x180°=540°


 3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:


 α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°

 8α=540°

 α=540°/8

 α=67.5°


 4. Finally, the larger angle is:


 2α=2(67.5°)=135°


 5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°

Hello there,

There is a total of 40 animals in that in 10 zebras, 10 lions, 10 elephants, and 10 monkeys.
So the probability of them both being lions is pretty rare. 2/40 so that would give you a 1/20 chance of both crackers being both lions.

I hope this helps!
