Answer:
1.5 m
Explanation:
Length. L = 12 m
Width, W = 16 m
Area, A = 12 x 16 = 192 m^2
Let the width of pavement be d.
The new length, L' = 12 + 2d
the new width, W' = 16 + 2d
New Area, A' = L' x W' = (12 + 2d)(16 + 2d) = 192 + 56 d + 4d^2
Difference in area = A' - A
285 = 192 + 56 d + 4d^2 - 192
93 = 56 d + 4d^2
4d^2 + 56 d - 93 = 0

\
d = 1.5 m
Thus, the width of the pavement is 1.5 m.
The answer should be C. Both matter and energy because physical sciences are sciences concerned with the study of inanimate natural objects, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects.
Matter and energy fall in with chemistry
2 pounds = 9 burgers figure out ow many 9's you can get out of 100: 100/9=11 but that only makes 99 you need 100 so we would add another one making 12. now multiply 12 by 2: 12·2=24. You would need 24 pounds of meet :)
Personally I feel that never trying is worse because at least when you fail you know what you need to improve on and that way you at least get some closure. Where as when you never try it you would never know whether or not you were able to do it
