When an athlete has been injured, an athletic trainer palpates the area to: Massage the area to try to decrease pain Gently feel for any fractured bones
Decrease blood flow to the area
Increase blood flow to the area

the answer is to gently feel for any fractured bones

Explanation:

palpating is when a doctor or nurse uses their hands to feel the body for any abnormalities

x = -6.5

explanation:

with this editor, you should be careful to put what you mean. 5/(2x - 7) = 3/(4x +14) is the way i will interpret it. cross multiply

5*(4x + 14) = 3*(2x - 7)       remove the brackets

20x + 70 = 6x - 21             add 21 to both sides

20x+ 70+21= 6x                 combine

20x + 91 = 6x                     subtract 20x

20x-20x+91=6x-20x           combine

91 = - 14x

x = - 91/14

x = - 6.5
