Suppose the large number of auto accidents in a small town results in new legislation that requires all citizens of the town to

install new anti-lock brakes on their cars. These new brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, allowing drivers to avoid collisions with other cars and pedestrians more easily.
The new brakes _______________ the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle but also give drivers an incentive to drive more _____________, which could potentially ______________ the number of car accidents.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new brakes decrease the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle. Because the anti-lock brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, then total collision will be reduced.

But also give drivers an incentive to drive faster, which could potentially increase the number of car accidents.

Because drivers know that the new brakes cut the time it takes to stop and if they drive faster than before, maybe the new brakes won´t be able to reduce accidents and maybe collisions will increase.

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (1, −4) with a slope of one half . (1 point)
bixtya [17]
3rd one
Reason: 
Point slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1) 
y1=-4
x1=1
m=1/2
Put it all together and you get a final answer of:
y-(-4)=1/2(x-1)
two negatives make one positive
so, 
final answer:y+4=1/2(x-1)

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary). 152,149,146
Serhud [2]

Answer:

the 30th term is 239

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the 30th term is as follows:

As we know that

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

where

a_1 is the first number is the sequence

n = the term

And, d = common difference

Now based on this, the 30th term is

= 152 + (30 - 1) × 3

= 152 + 29 × 3

= 152 + 87

= 239

Hence, the 30th term is 239

ANSWER ASAP!! GIVING BRAINLIEST TO FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS!!!
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

x = 1

Square's perimeter = 12

Rectangle perimeter = 12

The value of x is one and the perimeter of the square and the rectangle is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Side of Square = 4x - 1

Length of rectangle = 2x + 1

Width = x + 2

Perimeters are the same

Process

Square perimeter = 4(4x - 1)

Rectangle's perimeter = 2(2x + 1) + 2(x+ 2)

Then

                 4(4x - 1) =  2(2x + 1) + 2(x+ 2)       Equation

                 16x - 4 = 4x + 2 + 2x + 4      

                 16x - 4 = 6x + 6

                 16x - 6x = 6 + 4

                 10x = 10

                 x = 10 / 10

                 x = 1      

Perimeter of the square = 4(4(1) - 1)

                                        = 4(3)

                                        = 12

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(2(1) + 1) + 2((1)+ 2)

                                            = 2(3) + 2(3)

                                            = 6 + 6

                                            = 12
