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

So, the melting temperature of platinum is about one time and a half higher than the melting temperature of gold.
Answer:
The sum is rational.
Step-by-step explanation:
-3/8 is a rational number (the ratio of 2 integers)

Answer: only has one solution
Step-by-step explanation: If you find the answer for 7x+3x-8, youll get 10x+8. This will be the same answer for 2(5x-4). Making them equal and having only one solution
