The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What Thoreau means when he writes "we do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us" is that we are becoming more dependent on technology.

It is great that technology has changed every aspect of our lives if we use it with moderation and for work or improving our life conditions, That is great. But there is also a negative side to it. It is absorbing most of the time in people's lives with simple and evasive entertainment that does not give people something substantial. And at the same time, people are losing personal touch with family and friends. They are not having quality time with their loved ones.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 1 + 2A

Explanation:

Given mathematical expression : x + 4 = 5(1) + 2A

To find x in terms of A, make x the subject of the formula as follows;

x + 4 = 5(1) + 2A

x + 4 = 5 + 2A

subtract 4 from both sides of the equation;

x + 4 - 4 = 5 + 2A - 4

x = 1 + 2A

Therefore, x in terms of A is calculated as x = 1 + 2A

This modification helps with the control of water supply but restricts the amount of water to be used by the citizens.

Another South Asian government modification in <em>Pakistan</em>, hides vital information regarding water supply. Fort he government it is classified information, although there are treaties like the <em>Ganges Treaty</em>(1996) that supports the sharing of international information regarding hydroeletric. This is a measure that the Pakistan authorities consider critical for the control and benefit of water. But the lack of information sharing has also affected the government’s ability to deal effectively with natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides .
