Let the first number be "x", and the 2nd number (which is twice as large as the other), be 2x.

Set the equation

2x + x = 36

Simplify. Combine like terms

(2x + x) = 36

3x = 36

Isolate the x. Divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (36)/3

x = 36/3

x = 12

The first number is 12

The second number is 2x. Replace x with 12. Multiply.

2x = 2(12) = 24

The second number is 24

Check: 12 + 24 = 36 (True)

Answer: 12 & 24

Calculate the amount of hcn that gives the lethal dose in a small laboratory room measuring 12.0 ft×15.0 ft×8.50ft.
Anarel [89]
Dimensions of the room in cm = 2.54 x 12 by 15 x 2.54 by 2.54 x 8.5 = 30.48 by 38.1 by 21.59

Volume of the room in cubic cm = 30.48 x 38.1 x 21.59 cubic cm = 25,072.21 cubic cm

Given that the density of air at room temperature is 0.00118g/cm^3, thus the mass of air in the room = 25,072.21 x 0.00118 = 29.59 g = 0.0296 kg

Given that the lethal dose of HCN is approximately 300 mg HCN per kilogram of air when inhaled, thus the <span>amount of HCN that gives the lethal dose in the small laboratory room is given by 300 x 0.0296 = 8.88 mg.</span>
