Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 20 - x.

The value of x determines if the value of the expression would increase, decrease or stay the same. When the value of x decreases, the value of 20 - x increases. When the value of x increases, the value of 20 - x decreases. And when the value of x does not change, 20 - x remains the same.

When greater values of x is subtracted from 20, you will have lower value left. Therefore, as x increases, the value of the expression 20 - x will decrease.

The magnitude, M, of an earthquake is defined to be M = log StartFraction I Over S EndFraction, where I is the intensity of the

uranmaximum [27]

The equation represents the magnitude of an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake is $\rm M = log\left ( \dfrac{10S}{S}\right )$ .

Given

The magnitude, M, of an earthquake is defined to be M = log StartFraction I Over S EndFraction, where I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and S is the intensity of a "standard" earthquake, which is barely detectable.

<h3>The magnitude of an earthquake</h3>

The magnitude of an earthquake is a measure of the energy it releases.

For an earthquake with 1,000 times more intense than a standard earthquake.

The equation represents the magnitude of an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake is;

$\rm M =log \dfrac{I}{S}\\\\M = log \dfrac{10s}{s}\\\\M=log 10\\\\M =1$

Hence, the equation represents the magnitude of an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake is $\rm M = log\left ( \dfrac{10S}{S}\right )$ .

Alexis has 32 2/5 ounces of beads. How many necklaces can she make if each uses 2 7/10 ounces of beads?

love history [14]

32 2/5 ÷ 2 7/10 let's turn above into improper fractions: 32 2/5 ----> 162/5 2 7/10 -----> 27/10 so, 162/5 ÷ 27/10 -------> 162/5 * 10/27 = 12 necklaces
