16 / 5 = 48 / 12

16 * 12 = 5 * 48
192 = 240

which is incorrect  so 5 cannot be the solution of the equation.

substituting 4 for x  will give you 192=192

Anyone helppp meee please ....

Yep, this one seems sneaky and confusing.  But it's not so bad if you remember the things you learned about parallel lines.  (It can't be too tough ... I learned them
in 1954 and I still know how to use them.)

Look at the picture.  Line ' l ' is parallel to line ' m ', and the horizontal line on the bottom (which is not labeled) is a transversal that cuts the parallel lines.

Did you learn that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are equal ?
I'm sure you did, although it may have a new name nowadays.

Anyway, with the help of that 'tool', angle-'B' and angle-'D' are equal.  So . . .

(angle-A + angle-B) = 120

angle-B = 65

angle-A = 120 - 65 = <u>55 degrees</u>.

This Question is about Animals. I am no vegan, but why is it ok to eat certain animals such as fish and rabbit but not ok to eat
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

    From what I looked up on Google vegans don't eat fish, maybe some do but vegetarians do still eat fish. The reason why is because their are many types of health benefits that come with eating fish. "Seafood is a healthy source of protein, is full of heart healthy fats and contains iron and a host of vitamins like B-12" (Honeyager).

  I also feel like they ignore the fact that there food was a real animal cause some of society does not want to look at the thing there eating as a once alive animal cause I feel like they know how badly some animals are taken care of through there life time then kill through half of it. And yes I know that other livestock are taken well care of and given a good life before there death.  And most feel it's not okay to eat dogs is because most people actually live around them and know how sweet and kind they are and how they are pets for most. I also feel if it were cows (or some farm animal) instead, like people kept them as pets(just an example) then they would see the personality of a cow and I  guess they would feel more pity for them and not kill them. I hope you understand it's hard to explain my thinking pattern. IDK but this whole question and answer is just  based on peoples emotions whether they are saddened by it, say they don't care, or others who want to make a difference it's all built around peoples emotions and everyone's different and they have different emotions

The first paragraph I researched and the second is not fact at all, it just the true on how I feel. (It probably made no sense to you) Sorry for the 2 page essay!
