How does the process of subduction affect the formation of volcanoes?

1 answer:

5 0

Stratovolcanoes tend to form at subduction zones, or convergent plate margins, where an oceanic plate slides beneath a continental plate and contributes to the rise of magma to the surface. Volcanoes are not generally found at strike-slip zones, where two plates slide laterally past each other. ...

(4x + 4)(ax – 1) – x2 +4

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

b=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expression simplifies to bx that means the $x^{2}$ terms and the constant terms must be cancel out.

Simplify it first.

$(4x+4)(ax-1)-x^{2} +4\\=(4ax^{2} -4x+4ax-4)-x^{2} +4\\=4ax^{2} -x^{2} -4x+4ax-4+4\\=4ax^{2} -x^{2} -4x+4ax$

We know –4 + 4 will cancel out. If we simplify this expression to only an x term, then the $x^{2}$ terms should be cancelled. Therefore, we say that 4ax^2 – x^2 = 0.

$4ax^{2} -x^{2} =0\\x^{2} (4a-1)=0\\4a-1=0\\4a=1\\a=\frac{1}{4}$

If we put a = ¼, then we can find the value of b:

$=4(\frac{1}{4} )x^{2} -x^{2} -4x+4(\frac{1}{4} )x\\=x^{2} -x^{2} -4x+x\\ (cancel out x^{2} terms)\\$

$=-3x$

$bx=-3x\\$ if the expression is equivalent to bx

Therefore, b = –3.

Rico can walk 3 miles in the same amount of time that Donna can walk 2 miles. Rico walks at a rate 2 miles per hour faster than

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Donna's Rate is $R$

Rico's Rate is $R+2$

$\frac{R}{R+2}=\frac{2}{3}$

Cross-Multiply

$2(R+2)=32$

$2R+4=3R$

$4=R$

Donna's Rate is $R=4$

Rico's Rate is $R+2=6$

$\frac{6(130)}{60} = \frac{130}{10}=13$

If it took 8 hours to clean 12 houses how many houses could be cleaned in 12 hours

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

It takes 8 hours to clean 12 houses so that’s 8/12 to find how many hours it take to clean one house, 8/12 is equal 2/3 . So it takes 2/3 of an hour to clean one house. 2/3 times 12 equals 8. So you want to find how many houses you can clean in 12 hours. The equation is 12= 2/3x , x=18. The answer is 18 houses. Check the work cus I sure didn’t lol, hope this helps
