Answer: A.
The amount of violence has been decreasing, so few people have been killed.
Explanation:
The "War on Drugs" does indeed see the U.S. government spending more than $500 million a year as they raid supply chains and arrest traffickers to stem the flow of drugs into the U.S.
Most of the violence does occur near the U.S.-Mexico border as gangs fight to control smuggling routes and U.S. agents attempt to stop them along with police officer, most of whom are dedicated to ending drug smuggling.
The violence however has not been decreasing. Indeed, cartels have become more violent and with the rise of new cartels like the New Jalisco cartel, the violence has spread.

Answer:
The Great Basin
Explanation:
The desert area in the center of the Cordillera in the United States is called the Great Basin.
- The Great Basin is located between the Rocky mountains and the Coastal plains.
- This region is bowl shaped depression between the topographic features.
- The mountains prevents precipitation from forming in this excluded region.
Answer:
x = 7, y = 2
Explanation:
Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three sides and three angles of one triangle is equal to three sides and three angles of the other triangle.
From the question:
BD ≅ BD (reflexive property of equality)
Since BD is the angle bisector of ∠ABC, hence ∠ABD = ∠CBD
∠ABD = 2x + y, ∠CBD = 14 + y. Therefore:
2x + y = 14 + y
2x = 14 + y - y
2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
x = 7
Also, ∠BAD = ∠BCD = 90° (right angled triangle)
Since ∠BAD = ∠BCD, BD ≅ BD and ∠ABD = ∠CBD, therefore ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD by angle-angle-side congruence theorem.
The angle-angle-side congruence theorem states that if two angles and one side of one triangle is equal to two angles and one side of another triangle the both triangles are congruent.
ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD, therefore AD = CD
5x - y = x + 13y
13y + y = 5x - x
14y = 4x
14y = 4(7)
y = 4(7) / 14
y = 2
