Answer:

The U.S. tax code has 20,000 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pages in US tax code be = T

Let the umber of pages in King James Bible be = B

Given is - The number of pages in the U.S. tax code exceeds the number of pages in the King James Bible by 18,528.

In simpler language it means US tax code has 18528 ore pages than Bible.

In equation form, this is written as :

T=B+18528      ..........(1)

The combined number of pages in the tax code and the Bible is 21,472.

T+B=21472       ......... (2)

Now, substituting the value of T from equation (1) in equation (2)

B+18528+B=21472

=> 2B+18528=21472

=> 2B=2944

=> B=1472   (Bible pages)

And T = 1472+18528 = 20,000

Therefore, the U.S. tax code has 20,000 pages.

Let the pages in U.S. Tax code be x pages while those in King James Bible be y pages.

From the information give,
x= y+18,528 => y=x-18,528
x+y = 21,472 => x+(x-18,528) = 21,472 => x+x-18,528 = 21,472 => 2x= 18,528+21,472 => 2x = 40,000 => x=40,000/2 = 20,000 pages

Therefore, U.S. tax code has 20,000 pages.

Komok [63]

Answer:

The traditional scale consists of two plates or bowls suspended at equal distances from a fulcrum. One plate holds an object of unknown mass (or weight), while known masses are added to the other plate until static equilibrium is achieved and the plates level off, which happens when the masses on the two plates are equal. The perfect scale rests at neutral. A
