33.3 because 27/50=36/x and x=66.67 and thats how much as decayed after 36 hours but you want what is left so subtract from 100 and get 33.3

Given that: step 1

$3x+12=8x-18$

step 2: subtract 3x both side

$\begin{gathered} 3x+12-3x=8x-3x-18 \\ 12=5x-18 \end{gathered}$

Step 3: Add 18 both side:

$\begin{gathered} 12+18=5x-18+18 \\ 30=5x \end{gathered}$

Step 4: divide both side by 5

$\begin{gathered} \frac{30}{5}=\frac{5x}{5} \\ 6=x \end{gathered}$

Step:6 The value of x is:

x=6

Masja [62]

Answer:

The answer is

$\frac{ {x}^{2} - n}{m} = { (\frac{ {a}^{2} }{b}) }^{a} \\ {x}^{2} - n = m{( \frac{ {a}^{2} }{b} })^{a} \\ {x}^{2} = m {( \frac{ {a}^{2} }{b} )}^{a} + n \\ x = \sqrt{m {( \frac{ {a}^{2} }{b}) }^{4} - n}$

Answer:

40 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. if the length is 'l' and height is 'h', then according to the condition 1/4*l=h.

2. if the given area is 400, it means, h*l=400;

3. if to substitute h=1/4*l into the formula of the area, then

l*l*1/4=400; ⇔ 1/4*l²=400;

4. if to calculate the value of the 'l', then l=40 (the required length).

5. if to substitute l=40 into 1/4*l=h, then h=10 (the required height).
