Answer:
x = 2 and x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)^2 = (x - 5)^2 + (x + 2)^2
x^2 + 6x + 9 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + x^2 + 4x + 4
x^2 + 6x + 9 =2x^2 - 6x + 29
x^2 - 12x + 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x - 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0; x = 10
x - 2 = 0; x = 2
42 boxes of nails at .4 pounds a box would weigh 16.8 pounds.
R=S*0.5^(t/8)
<span>R is the remaining amount </span>
<span>S is the starting amount (500) </span>
<span>0.5^ is for the HALF in half-life </span>
<span>t/8 show that every 8 ts (every 8 hours), it will be halved once </span>
<span>...so plug in 500mg for the general solution... </span>
<span>R=(500)*(0.5)^(t/8) </span>
<span>... plug in 24h to solve for after 24h </span>
<span>R=(500)*(0.5)^(24/8) </span>
<span>R=(500)*(0.5)^(3) </span>
<span>R=(500)*(0.125) </span>
<span>R=(0.0625) </span>
<span>...therefore there with be 0.0625 mg of the dose remaining</span>
Your answer would be 526.3
