Answer:

to present a case for or against a particular position

Explanation:

The persuasive purpose is used to convince, or persuade, the reader that the opinion, or assertion, or claim, of the writer is correct or valid. Persuasion is more selfish than argument (debate). Argument attempts to arrive at a logical solution to an issue.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

It is wise to know the enemy you face

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, Odyssey and his crew made an ignorant assumption that the Cyclops should honor their guests.

Little did King Odysseus realize that he had an entirely way of thinking and culture from the Cyclops. He tells Polyphemus, a Cyclop that he entreats him to <u>"have a care for the gods' courtesy.</u>.." and that <u>"Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest".</u>

Polyphemus replies that he <u>"care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus"</u> because the Cyclops had no regards for the gods as they believed themselves more powerful.

The theme of the conflict is that It is wise to know the enemy you face.

Simplify the expression
bonufazy [111]
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 :)
