X/8 - 10 = x/3
bring the values with the variable on one side
x/3 - x/8 = 10
find a common denominator and subtract these fractions
8x/24 - 3x/24 = -10
now subtract fractions
8x - 3x = 5x
5x/24 = -10
multiply both sides by 24
5x = -240
divide both sides by 5
x = -48
the number is -48

So discriminant gives us 3 possibilites connected with result of the equation b^2-4ac. If it is bigger than zero, there are 2 solutions, if answer is exactly 0, then there is one answer and if the number is lower than 0, there are no solutions.
Discriminant of your quadratic equation is (-4)^2-4*1*5=16-20=-4, so there are no solutions.
Answer:
The intensity of the first earthquake is 6.31 times the second one
Step-by-step explanation:
The given formulae is M=log(
)
Here for both the earthquakes the value of S is same.
Let the Intensity of the first earthquake be I1 and the second be I2.
Given M1=7.5
M2=6.7
Now M1=log(
)------1
M2=log(
)-----2
Now subtract 1 and 2 we get
M1-M2=log(
)
I1/I2=
I1=I2(
I1=I2*6.31
