The arctic fox has adapted to its environment in a number of ways. its fur turns white in winter and it does not begin to shiver until temperatures plunge below 10 degrees fahrenheit. global warming is likely to bring many changes, including an increase in mean air temperature. over time, the arctic fox will have to adapt to this change. which adaptation is most likely to occur? a) its paw pads may thicken. b) its fur may stay white longer. c) its tail may have thinner fur. d) its ears may be shorter and rounder.

 C) Its tail may have thinner fur.

Adaptation is the change or alteration in the organism which imparts changes in the structure, physiology and behavior of the organism. These changes allows the organism to survive in the drastic environmental conditions.

In the given situation, artic fox being living in the cold environment Its tail may have thinner fur. is the correct type of adaptation which may allow the artic fox to survive in changing environmental conditions due to global warming. As, global warming may cause change the climatic conditions of the artic regions. The thin fur may allow the loss of heat during summer conditions.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
