Character, as if the two were gladiators, waging war on the sands of the Coliseum in some winner-take-all death battle. Both sides of the debate claim a definitive superiority for their chosen gladiator, and for the most part, the battle splits nicely down the lines of literary and commercial fiction, the commercialists placing the emphasis on plot in the interest of producing “page turners,” while the literati poke up their noses at the thought of anything so crude and artless.
A. The y-intercept of the function is equal to the value of y when x = 0, so y = 8 ft
<u><em /></u>
This means that the horse is already 8 ft away from the barn initially.
<u><em /></u>
B. The average rate of change represents the slope of the equation. This can be calculated using the formula:
<u><em /></u>
m = (158 – 58) / (3 – 1) = 50 ft / hour
<u><em /></u>
C. Since we already have our y-intercept and slope, we can establish the line equation:
<u><em /></u>
y = 50 x + 8
<u><em /></u>
When y = 508 then x is,
<u><em /></u>
508 = 50 x + 8
<u><em /></u>
50 x = 500
<u><em /></u>
x = 10 hours
<u><em /></u>
<u><em>It takes 10 hours to reach a displacement of 508 ft.</em></u>

Well, first of all you have to compare
5 sweets=30p
7 sweets= x
I represented the unknown with x. From here, you have to cross and multiply. 30 multiplies 7 and 5 multiplies x. And that will be
5x=210
You have to remove all that is attached to x to find out what x is. To do this, you have to divide both sides by 5. That will be;
5x/5=210/5
So;
x=45
So 7 sweets cost 45p. Hope i helped.
The excerpt is an example of dramatic irony, as the audience knows something that Jim does not.
