Let's make two simultaneous equations and solve. Let's call the smaller number s, and the larger number l
l=3s-1\\l+s=63\\\text{now solve this, and find l and s}\\\text{modifying the second equation}\\l=63-s\\\text{plugging this into the first equation}\\63-s=3s-1\\\text{solve for s}\\64=4s\\s=16\\\text{plug this into the second equation from the original two}\\l+16=63\\\text{solve for l}\\l=47\\\text{gather the answers. The answers are: the larger number is 47, and the smaller number is 16.}

The loudest sound, measured in decibels, is calculated using the formula L=10 log, where L is the loudness, and I is the intensi
12345 [234]

The intensity of a fire alarm that measures 125 dB loud is 268,337.29

<h3>Formula and expressions</h3>

Given the expression L=10 logI

where;

  • L is the loudness
  • I is the intensity of the sound.

Given the following parameters

L = 125dB

Substitute the given parameters into the following

L=10 logI

125 = 10logI

logI = 125/10

logI = 12.5

I = e^12.5

I = 268,337.29

Hence the intensity of a fire alarm that measures 125 dB loud is 268,337.29

Hans needs to rent a moving truck. suppose company a charges a rate of $40 per day and company B charges $60 fee plus $30 per da
kykrilka [37]
The time at which the cost for the services of the two companies would be in exactly 6 days. If we would compare the two charges, we would see that company A just charges 40 per day while B has a charge of 60, which is a standard fee, and a rate of 30 per day. So if we compute 40 x 6, we will have a total cost now of 240. If we compute 30 x 6, we will have a total cost now of 180 plus 60 which is the standard fee, and we will get 240. So in 6 days, the rates of the two companies would both accumulate to 240.
