Solve 3c + 2c = 9c - 9z + 8 for c in terms of z.
To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.
3c + 2z = 9c - 9z + 8
3c = 9c - 9z + 8 - 2z
3c - 9c = -9z + 8 - 2z
-6c = -11z + 8
c = \( \frac{-11z + 8}{-6} \)
c = \( \frac{-11z}{-6} \) + \( \frac{8}{-6} \)
c = 1\(\frac{5}{6}\)z - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:
atria
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
Which of the following is not a type of structural load?
occupancy load
Dead load is the weight of the building and materials, live load is additional weight due to occupancy or use, snow load is the weight of accumulated snow on a structure and wind load is the force of wind pressures against structure surfaces.
For inline cylinder arrangements in an engine, how are the cylinders numbered?
sequentially from the front of the engine to the back
Inline cylinder arrangements number cylinders sequentially (1, 2, 3, ...) front to rear.
If side x = 12cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:
p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 9cm + 9cm = 30cm
Veins carry blood __________ the heart.
back to
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
fats
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?
distributive property for multiplication
The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
