2. **Which details from the text best support the conclusion that even small earthquakes can
shift the land around the San Andreas fault? Select two options.
A Major earthquakes in 1857 and 1906 both caused offset of more than 20 feet in some areas.
The Pacific Plate in the west and the North American Plate in the east form the San Andreas
fault.
C Major seismic activity occurs about once every 150 vears, but scientists have recorded a drift
rate of about 2 inches per year.
D The San Andreas is considered the "master" fault of a vast network that includes many smaller
faults that branch off in all directions.
E Scientists can estimate the places where faults cut across the Earth's crust because literally
thousands of small earthquakes occur in California each year.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4
