Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality y−4x≤−6y−4x≤−6 ? select each correct answer. (3, 5)(3, 5) (−2, −14)(−2, −14)
Dafna11 [192]
Y - 4x ≤ -6y - 4x ≤ -6
We add 6y and 4x to each equality
7y ≤ 0 ≤ 6y + 4x -6

Observing:
7y ≤ 0, we see that the values of y can be only negative or 0, not positive.
So we are left with (-2,-14) (-1,-9) (0,-5)
We check the second equality:
6y + 4x - 6 ≥ 0 for these 3
None of the inequalities satisfy the given expressions simultaneously.

Airida [17]

Answer:

It was necessary to save as many lives as possible by ending the fighting quickly.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because President Harry S. Truman literally says, "I stopped the war that would have killed half a million youngsters on both sides." This means that he didn't want people to die, so he ended the war before it got to that point.

How does the descriptive nature of this excerpt help to build tension in the text?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer is A. It develops a shocking and horrifying image of the narrator's experience followed by his attempts to forget what happens.

As the journey goes on, the narrator describes the places he visits as really obscure and sinister, places where he does not want to be. Time drags and every place looks the same, so he unconsciously wants this images to slip out of his memory.
