If b is the midpoint of AC, which of the following choices is the value of x?

katrin [286]

If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:

8x + 4 = 10x - 6

Solving for x:

4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)

So, x = 5, which is the second option given.

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by dividing the area by one side.
30/6=5
Then, add the sides up and you get the perimeter.
5+5+6+6=22

The answer is 22 inches.

Recall that m(t) = (1/2)^t/h for radioactive decay, where h is the half-life. Suppose that a 500g sample of phosphorus-32 decays

katrin2010 [14]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Recall that m(t) = m.(1/2)^t/h for radioactive decay, where h is the half-life. Suppose that a 500 g sample of phosphorus-32 decays to 356 g over 7 days. Calculate the half life of the sample.

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of phosphorus-32 is $14.28days^{-1}$
