Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago

Answer:

The original number is -4.

Explanation:

Let the original number be n.

Next, three times the number is equal to 3n.

Then, increased by 4 means 4 is added.

Hence, three times a number increased by 4 equals -8 is written in the equation form as shown below.

=>  3n + 4 = -8

=> 3n = -8 + (-4)

Since the number, 4, goes on the other side of the equal sign, the number positive 4 changes its sign and becomes negative 4, as shown above.

=> 3n = -8 -4

=> 3n = -12

=> n = -12/3

=> n = -4

Checking the above solution.

Three times the number is equal to 3 * (-4) = -12.

The above product when increased by 4 gives the equation as shown.

-12 + 4 = -8.

The result is -8.

This result is same as the result mentioned in the given question, -8.

Hence, the answer that -4 is the original number is correct.

OleMash [197]

Based on the given condition of the question the disease is sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell anemia is one of a group of inherited disorders known as sickle cell disease. It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body.

    Red blood cells are usually round and flexible, so they move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, some red blood cells are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These sickle cells also become rigid and sticky, which can slow or block blood flow.

     Sickle cells break apart easily and die. Red blood cells usually live for about 120 days before they need to be replaced. But sickle cells typically die in 10 to 20 days, leaving a shortage of red blood cells (anemia). Without enough red blood cells, the body can't get enough oxygen, and this causes fatigue.

   Periodic episodes of extreme pain, called pain crises, are a major symptom of sickle cell anemia. Pain develops when sickle-shaped red blood cells block blood flow through tiny blood vessels to your chest, abdomen and joints. The pain varies in intensity and can last for a few hours to a few days. Some people have only a few pain crises a year. Others have a dozen or more a year. A severe pain crisis requires a hospital stay.

  Some adolescents and adults with sickle cell anemia also have chronic pain, which can result from bone and joint damage, ulcers, and other causes. Swelling of hands and feet. The swelling is caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells blocking blood circulation in the hands and feet.

State where bile is synthesized and explain the role of bile in digestion and excretion
earnstyle [38]
Liver secretes bile which is then stored in gall bladder. Bile enters the duodenum via the bile duct. Bile emulsifies lipids, transforming large lumps of lipids into tiny droplets, which provide a larger surface area for digestion. This allow lipid digestion to proceed more rapidly. Bile contains bile acids, which are critical for digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine.Many waste products, including bilirubin, are eliminated from the body by secretion into bile and elimination in feces.
