Answer:
31
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 of 124, ¨of¨¨ represents multiplication
so 1/4*124=124/4
which 124 divided by 4 equals 31
y = 3x - 4 answer x = 11/3
4x + 3y = 1 answer -3/4y + 1/4
2-3x = y answer -1/3y + 2/3
Ok so basically, when you say multiply A by C, that is simplifying.
And in this case, you are factorising in this question. You turn back into brackets basically.
We have:
72x^2 - 32
x^2 = x squared
factorising means finding the factor of.
(Forget the x squared for the moment to make life easier)
Factors of 72:
1 and 72
2 and 36
3 and 24
4 and 18
6 and 12
8 and 9
(9 and 8 = it repeats so we stop there)
And then factors of 32:
1 and 32
2 and 16
4 and 8
(8 and 4 = repeats so we stop there)
Notice how we see 8 twice in both factors of 72 and 32, this means that we use 8 as the main number we are going to multiply each of the 2 numbers in the brackets by. This is because it is the biggest common factor - this is what we have!
This is what we would have:
8(9-4)
BUT, that is not the answer!
Keep in mind we have the x squared too
But, 32 doesn’t have it?!!
It would be:
8(9x^2 - 4)
Do you get it??
Try to simplify it! Does it equal to 72x^2 - 32?
(And I am so very sorry for the long explanation, once you get the hang of it, it makes sense. Hope my explanation helped) :)
Answer:
The answer is "158.489"
Step-by-step explanation:
for san francisco earthquake:

similarly , for coloumbia earthquake:

divide equation (i) and (ii):

To determine x intercept get y=0 then substitute in equations: y=6x-11
0=6x-11 then x= 11/6
To determine y intercept get x=0 then substitute in equations: y=6x-11
y=6(0)-11 then y=-11
