Use the area of rectangle formula which is:

\displaystyle \large \tt{A = width \times length}

Given that:

  • area of rectangle = 16
  • width = 8
  • length = x-5

Substitute in the formula:

\displaystyle \large{16 = 8 \times (x - 5)} \\  \displaystyle \large{16 = 8(x - 5)}

Distribute 8 in the expression:

\displaystyle \large{16 = (8 \times x) + (8 \times ( - 5))} \\  \displaystyle \large{16 = 8x - 40}

Move -40 to another side and change from -40 to 40.

\displaystyle \large{16 + 40 = 8x} \\    \displaystyle \large{56= 8x} \\

Then move 8 to divide 56, leaving only x.

\displaystyle \large{ \frac{56}{8} = x} \\    \displaystyle \large{7 = x} \\

Hence, the answer is:

\displaystyle \large \boxed{x = 7} \\

aliina [53]

Answer:

- 4.2 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If the drop was from temp 0 at 8 pm to temp -16.8 at midnight (4 hours later)

then,the drop is given by the rate: -16.8/4 = - 4.2 degrees per hour

Sophia has an ear infection. The doctor prescribes a course of antibiotics. Sophia is told to take 500 mg doses of the antibioti
julsineya [31]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Dosage= 500 mg

Frequency= twice a day (every 12 hours)

Duration= 10 days

Number of dosage= 10*2= 20

residual drug amount after each dosage= 4.5%

We can build an equation to calculate residual drug amount:

d= 500*(4.5/100)*t= 22.5t, where d- is residual drug, t is number of dosage

After first dose residual drug amount is:

  • d= 500*0.045= 22.5 mg

After second dose:

  • d= 22.5*2= 45 mg

As per the equation, the higher the t, the greater the residual drug amount in the body.

Maximum residual drug will be in the body:

  • d= 20*22.5= 450 mg at the end of 10 days

Maximum drug will be in the body right after the last dose, when the amount will be:

  • 500+19*22.5= 927.5 mg

Hi, 
to find out the answer you need to divide 89 by 10 than by 5. Add those two answers together which is 23.73. That answer is dimes so 89-23.73=65.27..:) you could round the number up. I hope it helps!!!
