<span>Good Morning!
</span><span>C)made it legal to keep enslaved people for their entire lives.
</span><span>
It was legal, for the system of slavery sustained in the British colonies - and also in the Spanish and Portuguese, as in the case of Brazil - to maintain a person as a slave throughout his life. There was no time limit, children were also enslaved - daughters of slaves.

Check the picture below.
since in a rhombus the diagonals bisect each other, thus EC = EA.
now, the rhombus is simply 4 congruent triangles, we know the base and height of one of them, thus

Answer:
The square root of 144 will be 12
Start off by combining like terms on the LHS (the terms with x in them).
So we get

Replacing this result with what we had before on the LHS, we get

⇒Solve for x (divide both sides

)
⇒Don't forget about reciprocity rules when dividing. This is the same as multiplying both sides by

⇒

⇒

***This is a proper fraction
Suppose that the value of other ratio is equal to 6/3 then,
20/3x-8 = 6/3
18x-48 = 60
18x = 60+48
18x = 108
x = 6
