The equation y-100x=2000 can be used to represent the monthly salary of a salesman, y, when he sells x computer systems. What is

Maru [420]

If "y" represents the monthly salary of a salesman then we can rearrange the equation so that "y" is in evidence:
y=2000+100x

If he sells no computers and "x" is the number of computer systems he sells, then x=0.
y=2000+100*0 <=> y=2000+0 <=> y=2000

If the salesman sells no computers, his monthly salary is of 2000.

In “Tell all the Truth but tell it slant,” what are the different ways the speaker says the truth may be told? What theme about

Andrej [43]

Dickinson wants to make the point in "Tell all the Truth but convey it Slant" that we should tell the truth—the full truth—but do so subtly, indirectly, and in a roundabout way.

The reality, according to her, is too dazzling and bright for us to handle all at once.

In any case, the speaker makes a comparison between revealing the truth and reassuring young children about lightning by gently explaining it to them.

A)The adjective "local" is formed by adding a suffix to a free morepheme.

slega [8]

Answer:

a). False

b). singular only

Explanation:

a). The adjective 'local' which denotes 'from or in a nearby location' exemplifies a base word. In this word, the suffix '-al' is joined with a bound morpheme 'loc-' to make it meaningful. Bound morphemes cannot stand on their own to convey meaning and thus, it requires another suffix or prefix to accomplish its meaning. Thus, the statement is false as the 'local' itself is a root word used with various suffixes to derive words like locally, localized, locality, etc.

b). Grammatically, the noun 'news' is considered singular, as well as, uncountable and therefore, it carries a singular verb. It remains the same irrespective of the singular or plural context in which it is being used. It doesn't carry an indefinite article as it specifies the number of the noun. The noun 'news' varies its meaning in the context which it is used in. However, the form remains 'singular only.'
