A) 2x(4x-1)=10
Expand
8x^2-2x=10
Divide all terms by 2
4x^2-x=5
4x^2-x-5=0
4x^2+4x-5x-5=0
4x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0
(4x-5)(x+1)=0
x is equal to -1 and 5/4
but, in this case, the side of a rectangle cannot be negative, so the only answer that is mathematically possible is 5/4
b) substitute 5/4 into given expressions
length: 4(5/4)-1 which is 4cm
width: 2*5/4 which is 2.5cm
c) plus all four sides together
2.5+2.5+4+4 which is 13cm

Explanation: The writer compared the mouse to Lance Armstrong for different reasons. For one, the mouse and Lance have the same type of body build. "The mighty mouse's body is very similar to that of champion cyclist Lance Armstrong..." It also goes into detail about the mouse's endurance, which is caused by the same acid in Lance Armstrong's body. "produces energy without releasing too much lactic acid, keeping Armstrong from tuckering out."
I think it would be natural question or inverted order so try either of those and see what you can come up with!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The literary device could be a simile or a metaphor. Does the comparison use the words like or as? If so, it's a simile. If not, it's a metaphor. I'm pretty sure the answer you are looking for is either similie or metaphor.
