Let the price of single algebra book = x
and the price of geometry book = y

Then equation (1) = 2x+3y=34
3y= (34 - 2x)
y= (34 - 2x)/3

And equation (2) = 3x + 2y=36

put value of y in equation (2)

3x + 2 (34-2x)/3= 36
9x + 2 (34-2x)=108
9x + 68 - 4x=108
5x=40
x=8
put x=8 in equation ( 1 )

2(8) + 3y= 34
16+3y=34
3y=18
y=6
Hence, price of algebra book = 8$ and price of geometry book=6$

Darya [45]

Answer:

O The author's attitude toward the subject.

Explanation:

In a literary text, the <u>tone is a term used to refer to the attitude of the writer</u>. This means that the attitude, the sounds, or feeling that the writer has toward a topic or subject.

There are several tones employed in literature, some of which are serious, comical, sad, happy, etc.

The figurative language where a non-human object is given human qualities is personification.

The comparison of two unlike people, places, or objects is a simile.

The place and time of a story is the setting.

What can the reader mainly infer from the following passage?
saul85 [17]

The reader can infer from the passage that the children hate the marigolds because they cannot understand or appreciate the flowers' beauty, option D.

<h3>What is an inference?</h3>

An inference is a conclusion we can get to after analyzing the information we have. After reading the passage provided in the picture, we can infer something about the children and their view of the marigolds in the short story "Marigolds," by Eugenia Collier.

According to the passage, the children disliked the flowers because they were "too beautiful." They lived in an extremely ugly and poor neighborhood, devastated by the Great Depression. The marigolds seem out of place with all their beauty amidst so much ugliness.

With the in mind, we can conclude that the reader can infer the following:

  • The children hate the marigolds because they cannot understand or appreciate the flowers' beauty. (option D)
