Answer:

2.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimter= 28ft

W= x ft

L= 3x+5

but

P=2L+2W

substitute

28=2*(3x+5)+2x

28=6x+10+2x

collet like terms

28=8x+10

28-10= 8x

18=8x

divide both sides by 8

x= 18/8

x=2.25 ft

Hence the width is 2.25 ft

The half-life of iron-52 is approximately 8.3 hours.How much of a 13 gram sample of iron-52 would remain after 8 hours? Round to
Alexandra [31]

6.665 grams of the 13 grams remain after 8 hours.

<h3>How much of a 13 gram sample of iron-52 would remain after 8 hours?</h3>

The decay equation for the 13 grams of iron-52 is:

N(t) = 13g*e^{(-ln(2)/8.3h)*t}}

Where N is the amount of iron-52, and t is the time in years.

Where we used the fact that the half-life is exactly 8.3 hours.

Now, the amount that is left is given by N(8h), so we just need to replace the variable t by by 8 hours, so we get:

N(8h) = 13g*e^{(-ln(2)/8.3h)*8h}} = 6.665g

So 6.665 grams of the 13 grams remain after 8 hours.

If ABC and EDC are similar, what is the value<br> of x?<br> A
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values

3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15
