History

Answer:

y = 9, x = 17

Explanation:

This is a parallelogram, meaning that it has two sets of parallel (and thus equal) sides. One side is going to be EQUAL to its opposite. So side 3y + 2 is going to be equivalent to side y + 20! We can set it up in a way that we can find y.

3y + 2 = y + 20

Our job is to isolate y here. I'll start by subtracting 2 on both sides.

3y = y + 18

Subtract y from both sides.

2y = 18

Divide by 2 on both sides.

y = 9

Ta-da! Same concept with the other two sides.

x + 20 = 3x - 14

Solve for x. I'll start here by subtracting x on both sides.

20 = 2x - 14

Add 14 on both sides.

34 = 2x

Divide by 2 on both sides.

17 = x

Answer:

x = 17

y = 9

Explanation:

Set the x-variables and y-variables with its corresponding ones, like so:

x + 20 = 3x - 14

<em><u>Subtract x from both sides:</u></em>

20 = 2x - 14

<em><u>Add 14 to both sides:</u></em>

34 = 2x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2:</u></em>

17 = x

<u>Solving for y:</u>

3y + 2 = y + 20

<em><u>Subtract y from both sides:</u></em>

2y + 2 = 20

<em><u>Subtract 2 from both sides:</u></em>

2y = 18

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2:</u></em>

y = 9

2. </span><span>Sick captive slaves were thrown overboard, since their deaths were covered by insurance. = Zong Ship Tragedy. 
This term refers to the event when slavers who were transporting many slaves on the ship decided to kill a large number of them in order to ensure safe retrieval of healthy slaves, as well as to get money from the dead ones because they were insured.

3.  </span><span>Raw materials from the Americas were shipped here to be manufactured into finished goods. = Europe. 
It was common practice to produce goods in the Americas, and then transport them to Europe where they would be made into actual finished products. The Americas didn't have such sophisticated technology at the time whereas Europe did.

4. </span><span>Slaves on plantations here harvested tobacco, cotton, sugar, and other crops. = the Americas.
Slaves were sent to the Americas to work on plantations of their owners, for which they wouldn't be paid (or they would get limited amount of resources which were enough to keep them alive). They would harvest whatever was needed to make profit at the time.
