The statement that the friend made is not true. most of the mass of the plant is from carbon. the carbon comes from carbon dioxide which is used during photosynthesis. the left over carbon from photosynthesis is used to to help the plant gain mass. there is a process for this which is called cellular respiration

Las Vegas, Nevada is in a desert. How does its rapid population growth affect the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Many areas of the United States experience explosive population growth. <u>The more people that reside someplace, the more demand there is for water there.</u> Often these urban-growth <u>expansions are unplanned and place extraordinary stress on the water supply system, mainly on the groundwater.</u> <u>The stress often depletes groundwater supply, thereby causing wells to dry up.</u> Then water must be brought from somewhere else to support the local population.

Such situations have occurred all over the United States. For example, increased population growth in the southwestern United States has significantly lowered the water table 50 to 200 feet (depending on the area) since the 1940s. Managing urban growth, efforts to reduce water demand, conservation of the resource, and attempts to increase the water supply all address the problem of exceeding water resource limits.

<u>Human activities affect groundwater quality.</u>

<u>Here are some sources </u>and possible solutions to groundwater pollution:

<u>Agriculture</u>—Reduce usage of pesticides and fertilizers.

<u>Landfills</u>—Monitor for leakage and repair linings.

<u>Underground storage tanks</u>—Remove damaged and unused tanks.

<u>Household wastes</u>—Properly dispose of household hazardous waste.

<u>Septic tank leaks</u>—Properly maintain and repair tanks.

This came from the K12 learning course read this and the answer will be there. I underlined the important parts for the answer.

Y = 57.15 − 0.5 X If Y equals 5 , what is X ?<br><br> Then is Y=3, what is X?
Fiesta28 [93]

When y equals 5, x is 104.3

When y equals 3 then x is 108.3

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

y = 57.15 - 0.5x

<h3><u>If y equals 5 what is x ?</u></h3>

Substitute y = 5 in given expression

5 = 57.15 - 0.5(x)

5 = 57.15 - 0.5x

0.5x = 57.15 - 5

0.5x = 52.15

Divide both sides by 0.5

x = 104.3

Thus when y equals 5, x is 104.3

<h3><u>If y = 3 what is x ?</u></h3>

Substitute y = 3 in given expression

3 = 57.15 - 0.5(x)

3 = 57.15 - 0.5x

0.5x = 57.15 - 3

0.5x = 54.15

Divide both sides by 0.5

x = 108.3

Thus when y equals 3 then x is 108.3
