Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|x+6|=|x-12|

x+6=±(x-12)

when x+6=x-12

6=-12

which is impossible hence rejected.

x+6=-(x-12)

x+6=-x+12

x+x=12-6

2x=6

x=6/2=3

so x=3

The difference of the quotient m and 9 and the quotient of n and 30

Zanzabum

Answer: (30m-9n)/270

First we start with m/9-n/30.

We multiply the denominators to get 270.

Then we multiply the numerators by the original denominators to get (30m-9n).

To check, we can use m=2, and n=4

2/9-4/30=4/45

(30*2-9*4)/270=24/270=4/45

How many times longer does it take light from the Sun to reach Neptune than Mercury? Express this number in standard notation. E

stealth61 [152]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

77.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of light times will be the ratio of distances:

(light time to Neptune) / (light time to Mercury)

= (Neptune distance)/(Mercury distance)

= (27.93×10^8 mi)/(0.3598×10^8 mi) = 27.93/0.3598

≈ 77.6

It takes about 77.6 times as long for light to reach Neptune as it does to reach Mercury.
