Why is the sun's renewable energy important to animals? 1. they are able to directly convert the sun's energy into food
2. they eat plants that get their energy from the sun
3. the suns energy isn't important to animals because they don't depend on the plants
4. they absorb the sun's energy through their skin as a way of staying warms

2. they eat plants that get their energy from the sun

Explanation:

Based on the way energy flows through an ecosystem, animals could not survive if they did not have the source of plants. So, the sun's renewable energy is important to animals because the sun helps them grow their food.

I hope this helps and makes sense!

4. they absorb the sun's energy through their skin as a way of staying warms

Explanation:

linda: 3 ; laura: 15

step-by-step explanation:

note that linda + laura's age is 18, and that linda is 12 years younger than her sister.

let "linda" = x , "laura" = y:

x + y = 18

x = y - 12

first, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:

(y - 12) + y = 18

simplify.

2y - 12 = 18

isolate the variable (y). note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. do the opposite of pemdas. first add, then divide.

2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)

2y = 18 + 12

2y = 30

(2y)/2 = (30)/2

y = 30/2

y = 15

next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).

x = y - 12

x = (15) - 12

x = 3

linda's age is 3, laura's age is 15.
