Solve the multi-step equation by combining like terms and using inverse operations and the properties of equality. equation: –4x – 5 + 2x = –11

For this case we have the following equation:

To solve, we add similar terms to the left side of the equation:

We add 5 to both sides of the equation:

We divide between -2 on both sides of the equation:

Thus, the solution of the equation is 3.

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.
