1 answer:

4 0

If there was a nuclear plant disaster, then GDP would be a false beacon because it would account for government spending but not for the pollution caused.

<h3>Why would GDP be a false beacon?</h3>

Two of the components of GDP are government spending and private investment.

If there is a nuclear plant disaster, either the government will spend a lot to clean it up, or a private company will depending on if the plant is public or private.

GDP would therefore increase.

This would be a false beacon however, because this increase would not take into account the nuclear pollution that would have occurred that would negatively impact future production.

Translate the following sentence into math symbols. Then solve the problem. Show your work and keep the equation balanced.

For this case we have to represent the following expression algebraically:

"10 less than x is -45"

So:

10 less than x is represented as: $x-10$

Then, the complete expression is represented as:

$x-10 = -45$

Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:

$x = -45 + 10\\x = -35$

Thus, the value of the variable is $x = -35$

Answer:

$x = -35$

You produce 100 items and 47 of them will be shipped out of state. What percent of the items will be shipped out of state?

larisa [96]

47%.
anything that's out of 100 is going to be that number as a percent.
So if you had 34 things being shipped out of state then 34% of them would be shipped out of state.

This trend line shows a general pattern, and since we are with biological samples this trend line will not always be true. The outliers could be from either a genetic difference or an environmental difference that occured in the persons life.
