A student is standing 8 m from a roaring truck engine that is measured at 20 dB. The student moves 4 m closer to the engine. What is the measured sound intensity at the new distance? (dB) Can you also explain why? I need to know how to do it and I don't know how to.

Look it up you feel me

Wooden , walls ,doors ,support

Make them both to where they have the denominator of 18that makes 3/2 equal 27/18 and 1/9 equal 2/18so now you have  27/18x+5=2/18subtract 5 from the other sideso now you have 27/18x+2/18-5then subtract 2/18 from 27/18 to get 25/18x=-5then divide 25/18 by -5 and your answer will be  -5/18

Answer: a charge of -1.0  × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed  at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same sign as the  -4.0  µc charge.======electricstatic force between two point charges  is given by    where k is coulomb's constant,  8.99×10⁹  n·m²/c², q₁ and q₂ are the point charges, and r is the distance between the two point charges.assign positive to q₁let q₁ =  6.0 µc, q₂ = -4.0  µc, q₀ represent the charge at the origin, and q₃ represent this new charge to place.the charge at the origin q₀ would experience the following force f₀₁ from q₁, with r = 6.0 m (note that 1  µc = 10⁻⁶ c)    the force from q₂    the force from q₃    the net force on the origin charge, q₀, has to be zero for no electrostatic forcehaving an equation where k and q₀ can be divided out of the equation will allow us to solve for q₃    isolating:     a charge of -1.0  × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed  at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same as the  -4.0  µc charge
