Two less than 5 times a number is the same as the number plus 14.

Answers

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

Let's use 'n' to represent number.

5n - 2 = n + 14

Subtract n from both sides:

- n         - n

Next, add two to both sides of the equation.

4n - 2 = 14

   + 2    + 2

4n = 14

Since 4n is being multiplied, we must perform the opposite operation on both sides (division).

[tex]\frac{4n}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{14}{4}[/tex]

n = [tex]\frac{14}{4}[/tex]

Explanation:

when mary or my uncles leave,have take my violin home which pronoun correctly completes the sentence? A him B her C them D him or her

Answers

Hello!

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{ \bf C.~them~is~the~pronoun~that~correctly~completes~the~sentence.}[/tex]

________________________________________________

Explanation:

Sentence: When Mary or my uncles leave, have them take my violin home.

As you can see, when you read that sentence, it makes perfect sense. Since they are talking about multiple people (Mary and uncles), we cannot use a pronoun that only applies to one person (so this cancels out option A (him) and B (her).

Now, we're left with options C and D.

Since we're talking about multiple uncles and not just one, the "him" in option D would not work. Therefore, the only option left is C.

the answer is c. them

Explanation:

According to Malala, how did the shooting affect her? Cite evidence in your answer.

“I think Malala is an average girl,” Ziauddin Yousafzai says about the 16-year-old Pakistani girl who captured the world’s attention after being shot by the Taliban, “but there’s something extraordinary about her.”

A teacher himself, Yousafzai inspired his daughter’s fight to be educated. At a special event with Malala in Washington, D.C., he tells NPR’s Michel Martin that he is often asked what training he gave to his daughter. “I usually tell people, ‘You should not ask me what I have done. Rather you ask me, what I did not do,’” he says. “I did not clip her wings to fly. I did not stop her from flying.”

Yousafzai has this advice for parents of girls around the world: “Trust your daughters, they are faithful. Honor your daughters, they are honorable. And educate your daughters, they are amazing.”

A year after being shot, Malala is clear about her goal. “I speak for education of every child, in every corner of the world,” Malala says. “There has been a discrimination in our society,” which she believes must be defeated. “We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls’ rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.”

Perhaps she has learned from her father’s experience. When asked what gave him a passion for girls’ education, Yousafzai points out that he was “born in a society where girls are ignored.” Living with five sisters, he was sensitive to discrimination from an early age. “In the morning, I was used to milk and cream, and my sisters were given only tea,” he says.

Yousafzai felt the injustice even more when Malala was born. He later opened a school that Malala attended in the Swat Valley. At the time, the Taliban’s influence was gaining power and both Yousafzais were firmly on their radar. “But we thought that even terrorists might have some ethics,” Yousafzai says. “Because they destroyed some 1,500 schools but they never injured a child. And she was a child.”

Malala says that the shooting has taken away her fear. “I have already seen death and I know that death is supporting me in my cause of education. Death does not want to kill me,” she says. “Before this attack, I might have been a little bit afraid how death would be. Now I’m not, because I have experienced it.”

When asked if she is having any fun now with all her campaigning, Malala laughs, “It’s a very nice question. I miss those days.” But she also says that there is another side to her than what is shown in the media. “Outside of my home, I look like a very obedient, very serious, very good kind of girl, but nobody knows what happens inside the house.” There, she says, she’s not naughty, but she has to stand up to her brothers. “It’s good to fight with your brothers and it’s good to tease them to give them advice.”

She says her little brother doesn’t really understand why his sister has so much attention. “He said, ‘Malala ... I can’t understand why people are giving you prizes, and everywhere you go people say, ‘This is Malala’ and they give you awards, what have you done?’” she says.

Malala knows the Taliban would still like to kill her, but she says she hopes to return to Pakistan one day. “First, I need to empower myself with knowledge, with education. I need to work hard,” she says. “And when I [am] powerful, then I will go back to Pakistan, inshallah [God willing].”

Answers

Answer:

According to Malala, the shooting has made her stronger and braver.

     

Explanation:

In paragraph 7 she says:

"have already seen death and I know that death is supporting me in my cause of education. Death does not want to kill me...Before this attack, I might have been a little bit afraid how death would be. Now I’m not, because I have experienced it.”

And so the fact that she has faced death gives her more courage to pursue her aspirations knowing what whatever the repercurssions are she is well experienced to face it.

Cheers!

The best place to do that is the Mojave Desert, which covers parts of Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. The area gets twice as much sunlight as other parts of the United States.

Answer: finding out the best place to build a solar power plant.

Explanation:

The excerpt has already established that governments are aware of the benefits of solar power and that the Mojave desert is the best place in the United States to build a solar power installation. But there´s already one there, actually the largest one in the world. To build a new solar power plant, the Mojave Desert could be a possible location, but there´s no need to visit it to know that. Furthermore, other locations, even abroad,  could be considered based on how much sunlight they get.

Who is Gregory B. Cade? Write 250-300 words please.

Answers

Chief Gregory B. Cade is, as of over a decade ago, the United States Fire Administrator. He was voted into the position by unanimous vote on March 25, 2007. The role of Fire Administrator is part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA, for short), which is, in turn, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, and his trial was on March 15 of the same year. This division, created in 1974 by Gerard Ford, helps to ensure the safety and efficiency of communities and, more specifically, emergency response officers (such as the police, fire department, hospitals, etc) across the United States of America. Though the group is mainly known for its work in natural disaster relief, disasters in urban areas are also under its jurisdiction. Gregory B. Cade has worked in the department of public well being and safety for well over five decades, which includes more than eight years as Chief of the Virginia Beach Fire Department and as that city’s Emergency Services Coordinator. The role Gregory B. Cade now occupies, Fire Administrator, marks him as one of the Secretary of Homeland Security's principal advisors, making Chief Cade quite an important figure in the United States government, even if the position isn't extremely well-known. Unfortunately, other than his role in government, not much else is known about Chief Cade. Regardless, however, Gregory B. Cade is nothing short of hero thanks to his decades of service and commitment to the safety and well-being of the American public, whether he be working in the field directly, or managing the department that handles it all behind the scenes.

Just after a few weeks after starting her job, she started to fell ill. She wrote in her journal that "bad air, food, water, work and watching are getting too much for me" and also "A more perfect pestilence-box than this house I never saw". The Union Hotel Hospital was actually a ghastly and dirty place, which was full of patients and medical workers. Moreover, the food was the same for patients and workers, which was unhealthy, repetitive and difficult to digest. These all things contributed to her illness.

But on the other side.

Even though her days were tiring and full of fatigue, she really liked it. She wrote in her journal that "Though often homesick, heart sick and worn out, I like it". She used to find her pleasure by comforting and cheering her patients.

In which sentence does the author most clearly define his argument the goal of sending a man to the moon

Hello. You forgot to put the part of the speech that the question is referring to. The speech part is:

"if we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyran occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to us all the impact of this adventure on them efforts in space have been under review. with the advice of the vice president, we have examine we may succeed and where we may not. now it is time to take longer strides-time for a great a clearly leading role in space achievement. this in many ways may hold the key to our future on recognizing the head start obtained by the soviets with their large rocket engines, we nevert own. for while we cannot guarantee that we shall one day be first, we can guarantee that any fa additional risk by making it in full view of the world, but this very risk enhances our stature whe whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share. "

Answer:

"this in many ways may hold the key to our future on recognizing the head start obtained by the soviets with their large rocket engines, we nevert own."

Explanation:

The above sentence reinforces the argument of the author of the speech, on why the government should invest in the space race. This is because the phrase shows that the author believes that it is in the space race that this is the key to success in the battle against the Soviet Union. For the author, the investment in the space race would give strength to the USA and establish its power as a potential to be followed and admired.

The government of Ghana must lift the ban on social gathering with respect to

religious activities. Argue for or against this motion.

Answers

ANSWER:

I wish to argue against this motion. Because at this time of pandemic, social distancing is a key of staying safe and reducing the spread of the Corona virus. If government should ban all social gathering activities in Ghana, it has been done inline with the WHO directives, that should be followed if we all will win this invisible enemy (Corona virus). If social gathering is still allowed, people will likely not maintain a social distancing, and this will cause a spike in the spread of the virus. This is why it is important that government bans social gathering, so as to help reduce the spread of the disease.

Religious activities should not divert our attention of staying safe, as we obey the directives of the government, because the key law in all true religion is obedience, and this is the time the government seeks everyone to abide by such obedience and maintain social distancing, by avoiding social gathering.
