Answer:C. Mental set

Explanation:A mental set is a tendency of using the same solution all over again because it has worked in the past. It is a form of a fixed thinking about resolving problems.

Due to this fixated form of thinking Marks isn't able to use simpler formula to solve his mathematics problems , this mental set is making him fixated to what has worked before.

Why Mental Sets Can Make Problem-Solving More Difficult

- This process prevents us from thinking more creatively because we keep falling back into using the same solution and we don't try new things and it prevent our kind from thinking of new ways to solve problems.

It create rigid thinking and prevent creativity.

X^2+8x-55=10 what is the answer
Nataly [62]
Well...... I'm confused too but I'll go with:

<span>Simplifying
X</span>2<span> + 8x + -55 = 10

Reorder the terms:
-55 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = 10

Solving
-55 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = 10

Solving for variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '55' to each side of the equation.
-55 + X</span>2<span> + 55 + 8x = 10 + 55

Reorder the terms:
-55 + 55 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = 10 + 55

Combine like terms: -55 + 55 = 0
0 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = 10 + 55
</span>X2<span> + 8x = 10 + 55

Combine like terms: 10 + 55 = 65
X</span>2<span> + 8x = 65

Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.
X</span>2<span> + 8x + -8x = 65 + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
X</span>2<span> + 0 = 65 + -8x
X</span>2<span> = 65 + -8x

Simplifying
X</span>2<span> = 65 + -8x

Reorder the terms:
-65 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = 65 + -8x + -65 + 8x

Reorder the terms:
-65 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = 65 + -65 + -8x + 8x

Combine like terms: 65 + -65 = 0
-65 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = 0 + -8x + 8x
-65 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = -8x + 8x

Combine like terms: -8x + 8</span><span>x = 0
-65 + X</span>2<span> + 8x = 0

-Hope this helps!!</span>

Individuals undergoing hypnosis ________.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

 usually have clear memories of the hypnotic experience and are in control of their own behaviors

Explanation:

During the hypnotic process, subjects are put into a trance state where they will experience a heightened focus and concentration. This will make them become more responsive to suggestion. Which is why this often used as a long-term therapeutic method to change a certain behavior.

Despite this icnrease in responsiveness, the subject wll still have the final say regarding whether they will follow that suggestion or abandon it.

The false perception that most people have regarding hypnosis. derived from the entertainment industry. They constantly shows this plot where the characters forget their expeirence and can completely do somethign out of their will due to hypnosis.

In this unit, you learned about civilizations that once existed in Europe and the Middle East. You also learned about different
NemiM [27]

Answer:

There were 2 primary types of government, a democracy, and a hierarchy. A hierarchy had a few different variants, the ruler had all power and was a god, the ruler controlled people, and the ruler had the most power but had a small house of other "government officials"

If I had a kingdom, it would have a democracy as its government. A group of advisors, the house/senate, and what many think is the ultimate power but has equal power, the president/king. Democracy is important. Not too much though, or else you get communism. Now, things were different back then. Most people kept what they had, and the citizens ran their own "government" of sorts. But a democratic government is still needed to control, and maintain the people. When I say control, I don't mean "give me all of your money and earnings and we will give you what you earned in food, water, clothes, and a house." That's communism. What I mean by control, is enforce the rules, make sure that the people don't tear each other apart, limb from limb. The people need guided to the decided way of living, which THEY CHOSE by voting. Therefore, they chose to follow these guidelines, and should not argue. That is how to run a stable government. On paper. Of course, there would be plenty of people who want to cause problems, but those things are too unpredictable to handle without communism. Not saying that it is the only way to run a government, what I meant was those things will be deal with at the time and can't be fixed on a simple word document for a history lesson on a computer learning system meant for a sixth grader to answer in a few sentences, about why you should be good to people, and not meant to go into detail about communism, and meant to see who understands how to live a happy human life, and who knows how to be the next "president" of Russia, and also just to see students creativity and knowledge of world politics as well as their downright opinion. I probably went into a lot of detail but hit the word limit.

Why did many colonists believe there was nothing wrong with slavery?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Well, it's like with Suffragettes, a group of women fighting for the rights of women, well it's not completely like it, however, with the fight for women's rights, society had created a certain mindset, that women were a weaker sex, and that all and any of their value came with how the men saw them, they had no rights and they were thought of to need men. With Slavery, society had created a certain mind set that most people no longer hold, they believed that people of colour were lower than them, that they didn't deserve to have rights. The dehumanized them like they did with people from India, and as they dehumanized the slaves, it was easier for them to be able to treat them so poorly. Society had created this view and everyone else agreed. It was to help themselves and take over. Not to mention that Glory, Gold and Land was so important back then, people really didn't care about others, if they felt like someone wasn't of their status, they treated them poorly. Just like in Harry Potter, the purebloods had all gotten this ideology that they were better than anyone less than them, they taught their children and acted on their beliefs.
