Why was the concept of checks and balances established by the authors of the Constitution? a. so that no single branch of the government would gain too much power b. as a way for the Supreme Court to handle each of its cases c. so that a bill would have to pass through each of the three branches of government d. as an alternative method for choosing the president

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If the branches of government couldn't keep each other in "check" and keep each other "balanced" then one could potentially gain too much power and ruin everything

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^
