Q. m=14(11t) m=14(11-t) \newlineThe mass, m m , in grams, of a piece of marble after being in a rock tumbler for t t minutes is given by the equation. After how many minutes in the rock tumbler does the piece of marble disintegrate by reaching a mass of 00 grams?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 33\newline(B) 1111\newline(C) 1414\newline(D) 154 \mathbf{1 5 4}
  1. Understand the equation: Understand the equation given.\newlineThe equation m=14(11t)m = 14(11 - t) represents the mass mm of a piece of marble after tt minutes in a rock tumbler. We need to find the value of tt when the mass mm becomes 00 grams.
  2. Set equation to 00: Set the equation equal to 00 to find when the marble disintegrates.\newline0=14(11t)0 = 14(11 - t)
  3. Divide and isolate term: Divide both sides of the equation by 1414 to isolate the term (11t)(11 - t). \newline014=(11t)\frac{0}{14} = (11 - t)
  4. Simplify left side: Simplify the left side of the equation. 0=11t0 = 11 - t
  5. Solve for t: Solve for t by adding tt to both sides and subtracting 00 from both sides.\newlinet=110t = 11 - 0
  6. Simplify right side: Simplify the right side of the equation to find the value of tt.t=11t = 11
