Solution:

we are given that

The magnitudes of the moon and Sirius are -12.5 and -1.44 respectively.

we have been asked to find approximately how many times is the moon brighter than Sirius?

The word magnitude is used by the scientist to describe the brightness of moon/star/object etc.

So we can find the brightness by dividing the given values. so we get

\frac{-12.5}{-1.44} =8.6805

Hence we can say

The moon is 8.68 times brighter than Sirius.

The bottom two questions that correspond to the word problem... I don't get it
lisov135 [29]
So basically, the first question after the word problem is asking you to write an equation to represent the value of Mama's car after a certain amount of years (t). Since the value of her car decreases by 3% each year, you could multiply 3% by the original value of her car, to find what 3% is, OR you could subtract 19,400 (the value of her car after 1 year) from 20,000 INSTEAD of multiplying 20,000 by 3%. 

Equation:  value=20,000 - 600t

To answer the next question, just plug it into the equation you created. 

500<20,000 - 600t

-19500< -600t

32.5>t
Final Answer: It would take at least 32 and 1/2 years for the value of Mama's car to be less than $500. 

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

3x-12=y

which equals to

1/y=1/(3x-12)

Now,multiply both sides by x

x/y=x/(3x-12)

8x/2y=4x/y=4x/(3x-12)

73590 rounded to the nearest thousand
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Okay, so here is a small lesson on rounding. When you round you MUST know the place value of each number. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions.
So, when we look at this number what do we have in the ones place --there is a 0 -- in the tens place we have a 9 and in the the thousands place we have 5. to round this number look at the tens place. if the number is greater than 5 you round 73590 to 73600, if it is 4 and lower it stays the same and the numbers behind change to zero--> like so 73500. But for this problem it would round up to 73600.
