Explanation:

Harvey, William William Harvey (1578–1657) was both a physician and a remarkable natural historian. His great achievement was the demonstration of the circulation of the blood, a discovery which replaced centuries of theory and speculation with knowledge firmly based on accurate observation and experiment

His work was of vital importance in illustrating the sequence of hypothesis, experiment, and conclusion which has governed all medical discovery since his time. He was the founder of modern physiology.

Harvey was born in Folkestone in Kent on 1 April 1578, the son of a yeoman, James Harvey, and his wife Joane Halke. Aged ten, in the year of the Spanish Armada, he was sent to King's School, Canterbury, and from there to Cambridge University, being admitted to Gonville and Caius College on 31 May 1593. He graduated BA in 1597 and deciding to study medicine, travelled though France and Germany to Padua, where Galileo was then teaching. There is no evidence that Harvey ever met Galileo, nor of whether he believed in the heliocentric view of the universe. His own mentor was the great anatomist, Fabricius of Aquapendente, who maintained the traditions of Vesalius at Padua. Harvey graduated MD in Padua on 25 April 1602 and returned to London, taking his Cambridge MD in that same year. Two years later he married Elizabeth Browne, daughter of Dr Lancelot Browne, onetime physician to Queen Elizabeth. In 1607, he became a Fellow of the College of Physicians and in 1609 began his long association with St Bartholomew's Hospital, on appointment as assistant physician.

Why did Martin Luther

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

King’s notion of nonviolence had six key principles. First, one can resist evil without resorting to violence. Second, nonviolence seeks to win the “friendship and understanding” of the opponent, not to humiliate him Third, evil itself, not the people committing evil acts, should be opposed. Fourth, those committed to nonviolence must be willing to suffer without retaliation as suffering itself can be redemptive. Fifth, nonviolent resistance avoids “external physical violence” and “internal violence of spirit” as well: “The nonviolent resister not only refuses to shoot his opponent but he also refuses to hate him”.

A carpenter purchased 70 ft of redwood and 80 ft of pine for a total cost of $351. A second purchase, at the same prices, includ

notsponge [240]

Hey there!!

Let us take the cost of 1 feet redwood as ' x '

Let us take the cost of 1 feet pine as ' y '

For the first scenario :

70 ft red wood and 80 ft pine

1 feet redwood - $x

70 feet redwood - $70x

1 feet pine - $y

80 feet pine - $80y

Total = $351

70x + 80y = 351 --------------------------------- ( 1 )

Second scenario :

1 feet redwood - $x

100 feet redwood - $100x

1 feet pine - $y

60 feet pine - $60y

total - $420

100x + 60y = 420 ----------------------- ( 2 )

Now let us get both the equations together :

70x + 80y = 351 ------------- ( 1 )

100x + 60y = 420 ------------- ( 2 )

Now let us multiply the the 1st equation with 3 and the 2nd equation with 4

3 ( 70x + 80y ) = 3 ( 351 )

4 ( 100x + 60y ) = 4 ( 420 )

............................

210x + 240y = 1053

400x + 240y = 1680

...........................

Now let us subtract the first equation from the second ...

400x + 240y = 1680

- ( 210x + 240y ) = - ( 1053 )

......................

190x = 627

dividing by 160 on both sides

x = 627 / 190

x = 3.3

The cost for 1 feet or per foot for the redwood is $3.3

Now substitute the value of x in any given given equation and find out y

I will substitute in the 1st equation

70x + 80y = 351

70 ( 3.3 ) + 80y = 351

231 + 80y = 351

Subtracting by 231 on both sides

80y = 351 - 231

80y = 120

dividing by 80 on both sides

y = 120 / 80

y = 1.5

The cost for 1 feet or per foot for the pine = $1.5

The answers - $3.3 ( redwood ) ; $1.5 ( pine )

Hope my answer helps!
