suppose that alpha and beta are int variables. the statement alpha = beta--; is equivalent to the statement(s)
a. alpha = 1 - beta;
b. alpha = beta - 1;
c. beta = beta - 1;
alpha = beta;
d. alpha = beta;
beta = beta - 1

Carmen and matt are conducting different chemistry experiments in school. in both experiments, each student starts with an initial amount of water in a flask. they combine two chemicals which react to produce more water. carmen's experiment starts with 30 milliliters of water in a flask, and the water increases in volume by 8.5 milliliters per second. matt's experiment starts with 10 milliliters of water and increases in volume by 28% each second.
