2. Giving specifically-named examples of each, compare osmoconformers and osmoregulators. Explain why certain animals fall into one or
the other category

Simplifying

4x + 9 + -2 = 35

Reorder the terms:

9 + -2 + 4x = 35

Combine like terms: 9 + -2 = 7

7 + 4x = 35

Solving

7 + 4x = 35

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.

7 + -7 + 4x = 35 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0

0 + 4x = 35 + -7

4x = 35 + -7

Combine like terms: 35 + -7 = 28

4x = 28

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7

Explanation:

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
