Which option accurately describes a scenario in which a tortoise experiences a displacement of 10 m south? A tortoise starts at

a position of 3 m south. It moves 4 m east, 2 m west, and then 3 m north. A tortoise starts at a position of 0 m. It moves 10 m west,10 m east, and then 10 m south. A tortoise starts at a position of 2 m north. It moves 4 m west and then 7 m south. A tortoise starts at a position of 0 m. It moves 10 m west, 5 m east, and then 5 m south.

Answer:

A tortoise starts at a position of 0 m. It moves 10 m west,10 m east, and then 10 m south.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume southern and eastern movement as positive and northern and western movement as negative. Since we want the displacement, starting position should not be considered.

1-) A tortoise starts at a position of 3 m south. It moves 4 m east, 2 m west, and then 3 m north.

S = -3m

E = 4 - 2 =2m

2-) A tortoise starts at a position of 0 m. It moves 10 m west,10 m east, and then 10 m south.

S= 10m

E= 10 - 10 = 0m

3-) A tortoise starts at a position of 2 m north. It moves 4 m west and then 7 m south.

S= 7m

E= -4m

4-) A tortoise starts at a position of 0 m. It moves 10 m west, 5 m east, and then 5 m south.

S= 5m

E= 5 - 10 = -5m

Analyzing all of the previous scenarios, only one presents a 10 m southern displacement, and that is when the tortoise starts at a position of 0 m. It moves 10 m west,10 m east, and then 10 m south.

4. Solve the following system of equations for x.
Ber [7]

We are given the system of equations -:

\large{ \begin{cases} 2x + 3y =  - 14 \\ y = 6x + 22 \end{cases}}

Since the second equation is y-isolated equation. It can be substituted as y = 6x+22 in the first equation.

\large{2x + 3(6x + 22) =  - 14}

Expand 3 in the expression so we can combine like terms and isolate x-variable.

\large{2x + 18x + 66 =  - 14}

Then combine like terms.

\large{20x + 66 =  - 14}

Get rid of 66 from the left side by subtracting both sides by itself.

\large{20x + 66 - 66 =  - 14 - 66} \\  \large{20x =  - 80}

To finally isolate the variable, divide both sides by 20 so we can leave x only on the left side.

\large{ \frac{20x}{20}  =  \frac{ - 80}{20} }

Simplify to the simplest form.

\large{x =  - 4}

Normally, we have to find the y-value too but since we only find x-value. The answer is x = -4.

Answer

  • x = -4

I hope this helps! If you have any questions or doubts regarding my answer, explanation or system of equations, feel free to ask!
