Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

M = log(I/S)

The intensity of the first earthquake:

8 = log(I₁/S)

10⁸ = I₁/S

I₁ = 10⁸ S

The intensity of the second earthquake:

6 = log(I₂/S)

10⁶ = I₂/S

I₂ = 10⁶ S

The ratio is:

I₁/I₂ = (10⁸ S) / (10⁶ S)

I₁/I₂ = 100

It is 100 times stronger.

Solve the equation<br> 15x+2=45x+4
BaLLatris [955]
15x + 2 = 45x + 4

Subtract 2 from both sides, as well as subtracting 45x from both sides.

15x - 45x = 4 - 2

-30x = 2

Divide both sides by -30.

x = 2/-30

x = - 1/15
