these are what u should be asking urself Who is the author of the source? What are his or her qualifications? Where does the
<span>author work and what is his or her job description?</span>
Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
(a)
3x + 5y = 8 → (1)
4x - 3y = 1 → (2)
multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 5 and adding the result will eliminate y
9x + 15y = 24 → (3)
20x - 15y = 5 → (4)
add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y
29x + 0 = 29
29x = 29 ( divide both sides by 29 )
x = 1
substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
substituting into (1)
9(1) + 15y = 24
9 + 15y = 24 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
15y = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )
y = 1
solution is x = 1 , y = 1
-----------------------------------------
(b)
6p + 4q = 20 → (1)
5p - 2q = 6 → (2)
multiplying (2) by 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate q
10p - 4q = 12 → (3)
add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate q
16p + 0 = 32
16p = 32 ( divide both sides by 16 )
p = 2
substitute p = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for q
substituting into (1)
6(2) + 4q = 20
12 + 4q = 20 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
4q = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
q = 2
solution is p = 2 , q = 2
The symbol in the excerpt <em>is the new cloak. </em>
Symbols in literature are used to signify ideas through them, which means that the author can use a symbol with the purpose of giving them symbolic meanings that in fact are completely different from the literal sense. For example, in our daily life, we can say that a white pigeon is a symbol of peace or that the color red is a symbol of love.
Since the excerpt is from the Odyssey, I can deduce that the new cloak represents Odysseus’s change from an exhausted traveler to the returning hero.
Answer:
1. He included that heading to encourage readers to be active citizens of their country by voting wisely during elections.
2. Its inclusion was successful because given the hard financial times, and the author's stressing of the most important needs of the citizens, readers would be motivated to choose good candidates with good policies.
Explanation:
The author David Wallechinsky, cited the hard times Americans have been facing and how difficult it is for them to meet up with daily living. The author's inclusion of the heading "What Can You Do?", highlighted the core issues which affected Americans, and these include; meeting up with the cost of dairy, drugs, gas, quality schools, and security.
He encouraged them to elect candidates that did not just make empty promises but who could actually deliver and make life easier for the populace. The statistics of the financial challenges would make readers take the information under this heading seriously.
