Answer:
8 less than the product of 4 times 7 is....
8-4×7.
Means multiply 2 3/2×6 ok
We are required to compare the magnitude for two earthquake intensity:
the larger intensity is 7.9
the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4y - 2(5 - y + 4) = 4y - 2(9 - y)
= 4y + 9*(-2) - y *(-2)
= 4y - 18 + 2y {Combine like terms 4y and 2y}
= 6y - 18
6y - 18 = 6*y - 6*3
= 6(y - 3)
6y- 18 = 2 *3y - 2*9
= 2(3y -9)
2(3y - 9) and 6(y- 3 ) are equivalent to 4y - 2(5- y +4)
Others are not equivalent
