- By substitution, justify that x = − 6 is a solution to x − 2 = − x − 14.

First, let's substitute the value of x as -6 in the equation.

Now, let's solve it.

Subtract 2 from -6 to get -8.

The opposite of -6 is 6.

Subtract 14 from 6 to get -8.

Compare -8 and -8. We can see that both the LHS & RHS are equal to each other. So, hence we proved that <u>x = − 6 is a solution of x − 2 = − x − 14.</u>
It would be A. The Modified Mercalli scale which measures the effects of an earthquake.
Answer:
The correct option is trial and error learned behavior
Explanation:
A trial and error learned behavior is a type of behavior in which an organism attempts to or tries something new which makes it (the organism) accept the reality of that thing or situation. This means that if the attempt is successful or pleasurable, the organism will attempt it again and if it's not, the organism will avoid that thing.
This is what was described in the question with the bird trying to eat the caterpillar but found it unpleasurable which made it to start avoiding it afterwards.
Finches adapt to the new conditions such as drought by changing the size, shape and depth of their beaks. Beak morphology varies according to drought conditions. Since after the drought, vegetation dries out and the hard, big, tough seeds remain, only the finches with deep beaks will survive. Finches adapt via their beaks to different foods sources and different local conditions.
