1 is unclear, please take a better picture
2. x-18=-5, add 18 to both sides so x=13
3. square both sides and get x-8=-x+2, add x to both sides, get 2x-8=2, add 8 to both sides, get 2x=10, divide both sides by 10 and get x=5
4. use distance formula
√( (x-x`)^2 + (y-y`)^2 ) = d
√( (4+5)^2 + (x-8)^2 ) = √155
√ ( 81+x^(2)-16x+64 ) = √155

Answer:
One quality she purposes as essentially American is the belief in rewarding, difficult work that allows one to 'get ahead.'
Explanation:
none :)
Answer:
If the dependent clause is first (again, rather like an introduction to the main clause), it is followed by a comma (like in this sentence and the next). If the independent clause comes first, no punctuation separates the two.
When looking at any piece of literature, it is necessary to determine the kind of language being used. In the context of biblical interpretation, the reader must discern whether a passage is written in a figurative, symbolic, scientific or straightforward manner. The reader must also keep in mind that we tend to develop patterns of interpretation based on the predominant type of text we read. For instance, if we commonly read texts that are written in a straightforward manner, we may have a bias toward interpreting Bible passages in this way as well. When reading Scripture, understanding the language of a passage may not always be intuitive and at times may require additional research of scholarly works.
