Answer to Question 1

b
RATIONALE: Make two equations, one for Galaxy A and one for Galaxy B. Then divide like terms in both equations to create one big equation to solve after eliminating similar terms.

Answer to Question 2

If the star makes slightly too much energy, the extra energy flowing out of the star would force its layers to expand slightly, lowering the central temperature and density and slowing the nuclear reactions until the star regained stability.
