We know it is iambic because we are able to stress every other syllable. 


Just a little hint: Not all, but most poems are written in iambic. Even a lot of pop songs now-a-days are written in iambic meter  ;) 


I believe Shakespeare had about 150 sonnets and only a few were not written in iambic. Crazy.

The difference of 8 and the quotient of a number and 6 is 9
AlexFokin [52]
Quotient is the answer in a division. Let X = number.

Therefore, the equation would be X divided by 6 or X/6 to get the quotient.

Difference is the answer in a subtraction. Therefore, we must subract 8 from the quotient to have a difference of 9.

The equation must be:

X/6 - 8 = 9

To get X, -8 must be transferred to the other side and its sign will change into a positive sign.

X/6 = 9 + 8
X/6 = 17

To get X; 6 must be multiplied to 17
X = 17 * 6

Therefore, X = 102

To Check. Substitue X with the number 102 in the equation.

X/6 - 8 = 9
102/6 - 8 = 9
17 - 8 = 9
 9 = 9 EQUAL.

The statement above is correct.

Which of Dee's actions in "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker is in line with the following description of her character?
Alik [6]

Dee's actions in "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker is in line described as changing her name.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

Dee changes her name as to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo, which it interpreted by demonstrating her going back to her African origin. Time and again she has given preference to trends by not giving preference to some things which are not so significant, like fashion.

She might not have done it assuming that it is right, but rather done it because she might have assumed that it is fashionable. However although Dee claims that she is going back to her roots, in the past she has rejected the same.
