3) Solve the following equations by starting with the indicated step. Remember that as long as we do the same operation to both sides of the equation it will stay balanced and result in the same answer. 2x + 4 = 6X-8 Subtract 4 from both sides Add 10 to both sides Divide both sides by 2 More Tools a) Which first step was the easiest one for you to start with? Justify your answer with a complete sentence.​ [not physics algebra 1 ].

Since the pully is a simple machine so the mechanical advantage is a 1

Ultra-high temperature (uht)

The figure is missing but we can answer anyway.the correct answer is "releasing the string". in fact, when the person is holding the bow and the arrow, the kinetic energy of the arrow is still zero (because the arrow is not moving). the moment the arrow is released, it acquires a velocity v, so its kinetic energy will become different from zero: where m is the mass of the arrow and v its velocity.  all the other options, instead, do not increase the kinetic energy of the system: -  pulling farther back on the string : this will just increase the elastic potential energy of the system-  holding the arrow higher: this will increase the gravitational potential energy of the system (which is given by u=mgh, where h is the height above the ground)-  decreasing the mass of the arrow: this will decrease the gravitational potential energy of the system (which is given by u=mgh, where m is the mass)
