Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

You are making a scale model of the solar system. The radius of Earth is 6378 kilometers. The radius of the Sun is 695,500 kilom
jeka94

Express the radius of the Sun as a proportion to radius of Earth:

695500/6378 = 109.04...

Now if a baseball would represent Earth, the model for Sun would have to be about 110 times larger than a baseball. A baseball is about 3" in diameter, so the model for Sun would have to be about 330" (or 27 feet) in diameter.

The answer should be no it is not reasonable to use baseball as a model for the Earth because the Sun would need to be about the size of a hot air balloon!

Someone help me with this still im stock on it plz
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a>4 or a < 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start with the inequality on the left

-a + 2(4+3a) > 28

expand using the distributive property

-a + 8 + 6a > 28

5a + 8 > 28

subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

5a > 20

divide both sides by 5 to isolate a

a > 4

moving on to the inequality on the right

2a - (3a+4) > -12

treat the minus sign as a -1

2a + (-1)(3a+4) > - 12

expand

2a - 3a - 4 > - 12

-a - 4 > -12

add 4 to both sides to isolate a and its coefficient

-a > - 8

multiply both sides by -1 but change the sign because we are multiplying by a negative number

a < 8
