Answer:

<h2>The answer is 8 ft</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

perimeter = 40 ft

length = 12 ft

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the width

That's

40 = 2(12) + 2w

40 = 24 + 2w

2w = 40 - 24

2w = 16

Divide both sides by 2

We have the final answer as

Answer:

11x -8y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-4y=-4

-3x+4y=5

Subtract the second equation from the first

8x-4y=-4

-(-3x+4y=5)

-----------------------------

Distribute the minus sign

8x-4y=-4

+(3x-4y=-5)

-----------------------------

11x -8y = -9

A toxic radioactive substance with the density of 4 mg/cm² is detected in the been detected in the ventilating ducts that was us

Kruka [31]

The formula for half-life is:

$A = P(0.5)^{t/h}$

A is the amount remaining, P is the initial amount, t is the time that has passed, and h is the half-life of the substance. Plug in the values that you know and solve:

$4 = P(0.5)^{35/20} \\ \\ 4 = P(0.5)^{1.75} \\ \\ P = \frac{4}{0.5^{1.75}} \\ \\ P \approx 13.4543426441$

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the density of the substance was about 13<span>mg / cm².</span>
