As pointed out in the text section you showed, three key reasons the Americans were successful in their fight for independence were:

  • They fought on their own land and knew the local terrain, which gave them tactical advantages over the British.  They were fighting for their home turf on their home turf.  They had "home field advantage," in a sense, knowing the geography better than their British adversaries.
  • They received help from other nations -- directly from France and indirectly from Spain.  The American side received an especially large advantage of financial support and military support from France as an ally, which strengthened their side against the British.   General Lafayette was one of the key French leaders who assisted the American war effort.
  • The Americans were fighting as a people for a cause they deeply cared about.  They were highly motivated, fighting for their independence as a nation.  They also knew that if they lost, the penalties for treason against the British were worse than death in battle.

A couple other advantages the American side had, which were not mentioned in the excerpt you showed:

  • Use of an outstanding spy network to gather intelligence on British troop movements.
  • Use of innovative tactics of warfare, such as snipers.
  • George Washington's decision to inoculate the whole army against smallpox in 1777.  Smallpox was a major killer of soldiers on both sides in the war.  Washington's bold move to inoculate all his troops gave the colonists an advantage.

A carpenter purchased 70 ft of redwood and 80 ft of pine for a total cost of $351. A second purchase, at the same prices, includ
notsponge [240]

Hey there!!


Let us take the cost of 1 feet redwood as ' x '


Let us take the cost of 1 feet pine as ' y '


For the first scenario :


70 ft red wood and 80 ft pine


1 feet redwood - $x


70 feet redwood - $70x


1 feet pine - $y


80 feet pine - $80y


Total = $351


70x + 80y = 351 --------------------------------- ( 1 )  


Second scenario :


1 feet redwood - $x


100 feet redwood - $100x


1 feet pine - $y


60 feet pine - $60y


total - $420


100x + 60y = 420 ----------------------- ( 2 )


Now let us get both the equations together :


70x + 80y = 351 ------------- ( 1 )


100x + 60y = 420 ------------- ( 2 )


Now let us multiply the  the 1st equation with 3 and the 2nd equation with 4


3 ( 70x + 80y ) = 3 ( 351 )


4 ( 100x + 60y ) = 4 ( 420 )


............................


210x + 240y = 1053


400x +  240y = 1680


...........................


Now let us subtract the first equation from the second ...


400x + 240y = 1680


- ( 210x + 240y ) = - ( 1053 )


......................


190x = 627


dividing by 160 on both sides


x = 627 / 190


x = 3.3


The cost for 1 feet or per foot for the redwood is $3.3


Now substitute the value of x in any given given equation and find out y


I will substitute in the 1st equation


70x + 80y = 351


70 ( 3.3 ) + 80y = 351


231 + 80y = 351


Subtracting by 231 on both sides


80y = 351 - 231


80y = 120


dividing by 80 on both sides


y = 120 / 80


y = 1.5


The cost for 1 feet or per foot for the pine = $1.5


The answers - $3.3 ( redwood ) ; $1.5 ( pine )


Hope my answer helps!

What explains the Supreme Court’s gutting of Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act in the Shelby Co. (AL) v Holder (2013) case?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Explanation:On June 25, 2013, the Court ruled by a 5 to 4 vote that Section 4(b) was unconstitutional because the coverage formula was based on data over 40 years old, making it no longer responsive to current needs and therefore an impermissible burden on the constitutional principles of federalism and equal sovereignty of the states.[
