farmers know that driving heavy equipment on wet soil compresses the soil and injures future crops. here are data on the penetrability of the same type of soil at two levels of compression. penetrability is a measure of how much resistance plant roots will meet when they try to grow through the soil.

step-by-step explanation:

i think the length is 12 and the width is 17

-3(b-8)-5=9(b+2)+1

distribute

-3b+24-5=9b+18+1

add/ subtract

-3b+20=9b+19

20-19= 1

-3b+1=9b

9b+3b= 12b

1=12b

1 divided by 12 = 1/12

answer: 1/12 = b

it would be 0.18 because when the other choices are converted they equal those two numbers.   hope this !
