Which answer choice is equivalent to the expression 3x-1/2?
guys oml me i am failing this class and i need to get all 400 points of the extra credit assignment. )):

You can substitute a number in for x and compare the answer choices (not the most efficient way but it's how I would do it). Let's just say x = 5. Then the expression would equal 0.25819889. Substitute 5 in for x is the answer choices and see which one is the same.

A) simplified is 0.004 repeating

B) simplified is 0.25819889

C) simplified is 0.12

D) simplified is 1.341640786

We can see that B is the right answer

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.  

your answer would be 12
