One of the exaggerations of Jim Smiley was by Simon Wheeler wherein Wheeler would say that Jim Smiley is the type of person that "bets on anything that turned up". In the story, Smiley betted on cockfights, horse races, cat fights and other animal fights. This hyperbole emphasizes that Smiley loves to bet and gamble in general.
When you're simplifying equations, you have to collect the like terms (the similar ones, eg- fractions would be like terms, and so would letters).
When you're simplifying, you also have to take note of the operation before the equation.
1) Firstly, collect the like terms of M (M and -4M). As M comes before -4M, you have to add -4M to M. As -4M is a negative, this overwrites the addition, and this becomes M-4M. This then gives you -3M. The same applies to the fractions, as you have -1/6 + 5/6, you have to add 5/6 to -1/6, and this gives you 4/6, or 2/3 simplified. Therefore, you put these together- and this gives you -3M + 4/6, however, you normally have a negative number second, so one this has been rearranged, this gives you 4/6-3m.
2). Same applies to this one, you also have to collect the like terms of W. 2.3W and -3W. You simply have to subtract -3W from 2.3W, and this gives you -0.7W. You now have to collect the numbers, and you have -7 and 8. 8 is a positive, therefore, you have to add 8 to -7, giving you 1. Therefore, when you collect the like terms, this gives you -0.7W+1. As aforementioned, you cannot have a negative first, so one this is rearranged, this gives you 1-0.7W
Hope this helps :)
Is after the underlined word? If so, it'd be a preposition. It's followed by a noun.
Your main character received an unexpected phone call.
1) Where is the character?
My main character is at home, happily reading a book by the fireplace on a cold winter night.
2) What is the call about and who was calling?
The call my main character recieved is about their significant other getting into a crash while driving. My main character's significant other is in the hospital, so a nurse is calling to inform my main character.
3) What conflict is introduced?
The conflict that is introduced is if my main character's significant other will survive.
4) What series of events does the phone call set in motion?
The phone call to inform my main character about their significant other's situation would lead to a rushed, but careful, drive to the hospital. Then, my main character would have to sign in and go in the assigned room to see their dearly beloved bedridden and hurt.
Hope this helps! <3
Setting. The Morning Room at the Manor house is a room that would have held part of the action of the play. Therefore, it is setting.
