What is 4a7 - 9a7?
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
4a7 - 9a7 = -5a7
During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
fats
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
Solve for z:
9z - 9 < \( \frac{z}{5} \)
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.
9z - 9 < \( \frac{z}{5} \)
5 x (9z - 9) < z
(5 x 9z) + (5 x -9) < z
45z - 45 < z
45z - 45 - z < 0
45z - z < 45
44z < 45
z < \( \frac{45}{44} \)
z < 1\(\frac{1}{44}\)
The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?
radiation
Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.
Which of the following saws would you use if you're cutting wood along the grain?
ripsaw
The ripsaw delivers maximum efficiency at cutting with or along the grain (ripping).
Which of the following is a relay that connects the battery to the starter motor when the ignition key is turned?
solenoid
The cylindrical solenoid is a relay that safely connects the high amperage battery to the starter motor when the ignition key is turned. This current then allows the engine to turn at a high enough speed to start.
These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.
cumulus clouds
Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
A shovel is an example of which class of lever?
third
A third-class lever is used to increase distance traveled by an object in the same direction as the force applied. The fulcrum is at one end of the lever, the object at the other, and the force is applied between them. This lever does not impart a mechanical advantage as the effort force must be greater than the load but does impart extra speed to the load. Examples of third-class levers are shovels and tweezers.
