Answer:

the intensity increases by a factor of 10, the Ritcher scale uses a logarithm with base 10. For example an earthquake with magnitude 2 is 10^2 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while an earthquake with magnitude 3 is 10^3 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 10^3 = 10^2 • 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.

Explain how you can rewrite the equation n+8=24 so that it involves subtraction rather than addiction
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

n = 24 - 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

n + 8 = 24

Subtract 8 from each side:

n + 8 - 8 = 24 - 8

n = 24 - 8.

(50 POINTS - WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO MOST HELPFUL ANSWER)
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Part A:

x + y = 80

x + 20 = y

Part B:

Pam spends 30 minutes practicing math every day.

Part C:

It is not possible for Pam to have spent 60 minutes practicing dance because this means she must have practiced math for 40 minutes (60 - 20 = 40). This would total out to 100 minutes of total practice, not 80 minutes. Therefore, this is impossible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

"She spends 80 minutes every day practicing dance and math."

x + y = 80

"She dances for 20 minutes longer than she works on math."

x + 20 = y

Part B:

Solve for x:

x + 20 = y

Isolate variable x:

x = y - 20

Plug in this new value for the first equation:

y - 20 + y = 80

Combine like terms:

2y - 20 = 80

Isolate variable y:

2y = 100

y = 50

Plug in the new value of y into any equation:

x + 50 = 80

Isolate variable x:

x = 30

Part C:

x + 20 = y

x + 20 = 60

x = 40

x + y = 80

40 + 60 = 80

100 = 80

Impossible.

Please help im stressing :((((<br> (what is Danielle mistake in this problem )
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Daniel's Mistake was that she didnt add all the sides

Step-by-step explanation:

She only added the right side of the triangle, and the right and bottom sides of the square. She is missing the left of the triangle, which is another 6x-4, and the left side of the square, which is 12x +3.

Using these sides the answer should look like this,

set up your problem

1) (6x-4)*2 + (12x+3)*2 + (14x+13)

multiply your 2's in

2) (12x-8) + (24x+6) + (14x+13)

simplify

3) 50x + 11 is your answer
