Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics. As it happens, Feldman’s accidental study provides a window on

to a form of cheating that has long stymied academics: white-collar crime. (Yes, shorting the bagel man is white-collar crime, writ however small.) It might seem ludicrous to address as large and intractable a problem as white-collar crime through the life of a bagel man. But often a small and simple question can help chisel away at the biggest problems. Despite all the attention paid to rogue companies like Enron, academics know very little about the practicalities of white-collar crime. The reason? There are no good data. A key fact of white-collar crime is that we hear about only the very slim fraction of people who are caught cheating. Most embezzlers lead quiet and theoretically happy lives; employees who steal company property are rarely detected. What purpose does the “bagel man” serve in this argument? to shift the focus toward a specific man to entertain the reader with a funny story to show the seriousness of cheating to shed light on white-collar crime

Triss [41]

A) What voice am I writing in? It is drafting because this shows how writer conveys his message through his ideas and thoughts which the writer composes both the introduction and the conclusion.

B) Are my sentence boundaries identified directly with no fragments or run ons? It is editing because it is the process of checking for errors. The process is really important because the writer himself has to be able to identify his own mistakes.

C) Have I kept my voice and tense the same throughout? It will be revising when the writer makes amendments to his message in draft.

D ) What is my purpose? It is the process of planning or brainstorming.

E) What is my evidence ( and where will I get it)? It is a pre-writing. Pre-writing is the very-first stage of writing process and it is followed by drafting, revision and editing.

NEED HELP NOW 10 POINTS WILL MARK BRAINLIEST ANSWER PLZ ANSWER ALL 5 PHOTOS!!!!!
yaroslaw [1]
My internet isn't very good, so I'm going to answer 1 page at a time. Here's the 1st one. 
30. Add 3 to both sides for x is less than or equal to 10, so your answer is the third one.
31. Just solve for x by adding 1 to both sides. 7x=10, so now just divide both sides by 7 to get x by itself. x=10/7.
32. (xy)/2, because you have to multiply x kits by y beads, and splitting between two people means dividing by two (so your answer is the third option)
33. Initial: 10 weekly: $2/week so you have 2w+10, because every week he makes two and he started out with 10.
34: to solve this type of equation, get the variable by itself. Since you have 50t on one side, divide both by 50 for an answer of 5.
