A certain signal molecule S in heart tissue is degraded by two different biochemical pathways: when only Path 1 is active, the half-life of S is 15. s. When only Path 2 is active, the half-life of S is 62.9 s. Calculate the half-life of S when both pathways are active. Rounded your answer to 2 significant digits.
