Answer:

The time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is 8,245,614.04 years which is over 8 million years

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed with which the pacific plate moved northward relative to the North American plate = 5.7 cm/year = 5.7 × 10⁻⁵ km/year

The distance between current LA and San Francisco = 470 km

From the formula for speed, s, we have

Speed = Distance/Time

Therefore, Time, t = Distance/Speed

The time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is given as follows;

t = (Distance between LA and San Francisco)/(The speed with which the pacific plate)

t = (470 km)/(5.7 cm/year) = 470/(5.7 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁾) = 8245614.04 years

Therefore, the time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is 8245614.04 years.

Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+4) ^ (1/3) + (2x+8) ^ (1/3) = 0

Subtract (x+4) ^ (1/3) from each side

(x+4) ^ (1/3) - (x+4) ^ (1/3)+ (2x+8) ^ (1/3) = -(x+4) ^ (1/3)

(2x+8) ^ (1/3) = -(x+4) ^ (1/3)

Cube each side

(2x+8) ^ (1/3) ^3= -(x+4) ^ (1/3)^3

2x+8 = -(x+4)

Distribute the negative sign

2x+8 = -x -4

Add x to each side

2x+8 +x =-x+x-4

3x+8 = -4

Subtract 8 from each side

3x+8-8 =-4-8

3x =-12

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -12/3

x = -4

the first side of a triangle measures 4 in. less than the second side, the third side is 3 in. more than the first side, and the
Shtirlitz [24]
Start by representing the lengths of the three sides of your triangle:

first side:  x-4 (inches)
second side:  x (inches)
third side:  (x-4) + 3 (inches)

Add these three quantities up to obtain a formula for the perimeter, and set your sum equal to the given perimeter (15 inches):

x-4  +  x  +  x-4  -3  =  15

3x-11=15
3x=26
x=26/3

Thus, the length of the 2nd side is 26/3; that of the first side is 26/3-4, or 14/3; and that of the third side is 14/3+3, or 23/3 (all measurements in inches).

There is 20x more nonfiction than fiction so you do
20+1=21
so then to find out what \frac{1}{21} of 1155 is we do
1155÷21=55
so then we times 55 by 20 because there are 20x more nonfiction than fiction
55x20=1100
soo now we know there is
1100 nonfiction books and
55 fiction books
to check whether we are right we can do
1100=55=1155
we are right because there is 1155 books in the library
