Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All the sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, hence the perimeter is expressed as P = 3s

s is one of the side length

Given DE = 5x - 8

P = 3DE

P = 3(5x-8)

36 = 3(5x-8)

36/3 = 5x-8

12 = 5x - 8

5x = 12+9

5x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 4

Hence the value of x is 4

Answer: option J: 128 joules

Explanation:

1) From the table you try to find which relation best fits the data.

2) Your best first assumption is that the data may fit a proportional relation.

3) To prove that you find the ratio of Energy ouput to Amount of chemicals.

Doing that you find:
20 32 48 60
----- = ------- = ------ = ------ = 4
5 8 12 15

4) Then you have found a direct relation whose ratio is 4 joules / mol. So, you can apply that constant to the number of moles given:

Energy = 4 joules / mol × 32 mol = 128 joules
