Questions like this ("how much higher is x than y?") are answered by computing the ratio of the two quantities.

In fact, for example, the answer to "how much higher is 10 than 5?" is 2, because 10:5 = 2, and indeed 10 is twice as much as 5.

So, we have

\dfrac{3225}{1947.974}\approx 1.65

So, the melting temperature of platinum is about one time and a half higher than the melting temperature of gold.

Answer:

Henry's balloon was farther from the town at the beginning and Henry's balloon traveled more quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of Tasha's balloon from the town is represented by the function y = 8x+ 20 ............. (1)

Where y is the distance in miles from the town and x represents the time of fly in hours.

So, at the start of the journey i.e. at x = 0, y = 20 miles {From equation (1)} from the town.

Again, Tasha's balloon is traveling at a rate of 8 miles per hour.

Now, Henry's balloon begins 30 miles from the town and is 48 miles from the town after 2 hours.

So, Henry's balloon traveling with the speed of \frac{48 - 30}{2} = 9 miles per hour.

Therefore, Henry's balloon was farther from the town at the beginning i.e. 30 miles from the town. And Henry's balloon traveled more quickly i.e at the rate of 9 miles per hour. (Answer)

Solve the system of equations 5x + 2 y equals 12 5 x - 2 y equals 28
lawyer [7]
5x+2y=12                       5x+2y=12
5x-2y=28                        5(4)+2y=12
                                        2y=12-20
10x=40                              2y=-8
x=40/10                               y=-8/2
x=4                                      y=-4

A toy baseball and bat cost $1.50 together. The bat costs $1.00 more than the baseball. How much does the baseball cost?
Nataly [62]
$0.50 is the answer. If the bat is $1.00 more than the baseball, you would subtract that from the total cost which is $1.50 so the answer would be $0.50.

The X and Y angles created by lines intersection in the pictures are 18° and 54°.

Based on the picture, angle ∠MON is a right angle hence it has an 90° angle. We then know that the ∠MOA is 72°. Because angle ∠MOA lies within the angle ∠MON, hence we can write the following formula:

∠MON = ∠MOA +∠AON = 90°

∠MON = 72° + ∠AON = 90°

∠AON = 18° ... (i)

If we focus on the line CD being intersected by the line AB, hence we can conclude that the angles form by this intersection will follow these rules:

∠AOD = ∠BOC

∠AOC = ∠BOD

∠AOD + AOC = 180°

∠BOC + ∠BOD = 180°

Based on the picture, we know that:

∠BOC = x

∠AOC = ∠MOA + ∠MOC

∠AOC = 72° + y ...(ii)

∠AOD = ∠AON + ∠NOD

∠AOD = 18° +2x

∠BOC = 3x ... (iii)

Because we already know that ∠BOC = AOD, hence we could rewrite the formula into:

∠BOC = ∠AOD

3x = 18° + 2x

x = 18° ... (iv)

To find the value of y, we need to focus on angle ∠AOC. Based on the previous calculations and formulas, we  know that:

∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180° ... (v)

Input equations (ii) and (iv) into (v)

∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180°

(72° + y) + 3x = 180°

72° + y + 3(18°) = 180°

126° + y = 180°

y = 54° ... (vi)
