The melting point of mercury is -39°c. the freezing point of alcohol is 114°c. how much cooker is the melting point of mercury than the freezing point of alcohol?

This is one of those cases where you have to believe that a minus times a minus is a plus.

114 - - 39 = 153 degrees. The freezing of mercury is 153 degrees cooler than the freezing point of alcohol. I would check your descriptions. Did you mean boiling point of Alcohol?

x=6 and x=3

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
