Answer:
B. Thermohaline circulation
Step-by-step explanation:
Thermohaline circulation is driven by global density gradients which are created by the surface heat and fluxes of fresh water, as a part of the large scale ocean circulation.
3x = -5y -------------- (1)
6x - 7y = 17 --------- (2)
From (1):
3x = -5y
x = -5/3 y ---------- sub into (2)
6 (-5/3 y) - 7y = 17
-10y - 7y = 17
-17y = 17
y = -1 ------------ Sub into (1)
3x = -5 (-1)
3x = 5
x = 5/3
Ans: x = 5/3, y = -1
X + x + 3(2+x)= 36
2x + 6 + 3x = 36
5x + 6 = 36
5x = 36 - 6
5x = 30
x = 6
Longer piece = 2 + 6 = 8inches
So slope=rise/run
rise=8
run=12
8/12=4/6=2/3
the slope=2/3
