Answer:
Rivers were dammed or became clogged with sediment, forests were logged to provide needed timber, and the land was torn up all in pursuit of gold.
Explanation:
he Gold Rush, positive for California in so many ways, had a devastating effect on the state's environment. Many of these problems were directly related to gold-mining technology. The process of hydraulic mining, which became popular in the 1850s, caused irreparable environmental destruction.
Answer:
20 members of the rappelling club are going on the trip
Explanation:
Total cost of the trip is $540.
If only one person goes, the cost is $540.
We can make the total number of people going x since we are not given.
Therefore, each member would pay (540/x)
We can also rep 7 with non members since the number is given as 7
Total people going= Members + non members.
Therefore, the cost per person is now (540/x+7).
Problem.
540/x -540/x +7 = 7
Multiply each with lowest common denominator.
When you expand, you get
540(x+7) - x(540)/x(x+7) =7
Simplify multiplication.
540x+3780-540x=7(x^2+7x)
Combine like terms
540x-540x+3780=7x^2+49x
3780=7x^2+49x
7x^2+49x-3780= 0
When we divide through by 7, we have
x^2+7x-540
Factorize, we have
(x^2+27x)-(20x-540)=0
x(x+27)-20(x+27)=0
(x-20)(x+27)=0
x is therefore 20 or -27
Since we know -27 cannot be a reasonable answer hence must be excluded.
The exact number of the people going on the trip is 20.
Answer:
100 years
Explanation:
All the ruling houses have a span of over 100 years. A interval spacing of just 5, 10, or 20 years would be a waste considering how long these time periods are.
