Answer:

Frank, you're wrong!  x=x is a variable, where 12=12 is a specific number.  x can represent any number, even 12.  So Frank's answer is more general, whereas Sarah's answer is specific.  

Explanation:

2(x+12)+6=3(x+6)+(12-x)

2x+24+6=3x+18+12-x

2x+30=2x+30

2x+30-30=2x+30-30

2x=2x

x=x, or...

2x-2x+30=2x-2x+30

30=30

There is a scene in chapter 3 when the man with owl-eyed spectacles tells Nick and Jordan that the books in Gatsby's library are
serg [7]

Answer:

Nick Caraway meets the man with the enormous owl-eyed spectacles in Jay Gatsby's library, during one of Jay's parties. Nick and Jordan had politely left their company to find Jay. The man was drunk and wanted to know what Nick and Jordan thought of Jay's enormous collection of books.

The man seemed overwhelmed by the idea that Jay actually had real books in his library and not just mere cardboard replicas to create the impression of reality. His comment that Jay is a "regular Belasco" is a reference to a famous and popular playwright, impresario, director and producer at the time, David Belasco.

The reference to one rooted in theatre implies firstly, that the library has the makings of a theatre - it is impressively large and well-stocked. Secondly, it suggests that Gatsby is putting on a show. This is the reason why the man with the spectacles is so surprised that the books are actually genuine. He expected them to be fake. Just as the room presented something theatrical, so should the books have too.

It is ironic that the man should make this comment because he accurately identifies the theatricality and artificiality of Jay's life without realizing it. The Jay who presents himself to his audience is not the real James Gatz. He has adopted a fake identity and affectations such as "old sport", to impress and convey an image of wealth and academic success.

Furthermore, the reference to the owl-eyed nature of the man's spectacles alludes to knowledge, deep scrutiny and investigation. The irony is however, that the man makes the remark whilst drunk, so even his insight is doubtful since this is the type of logic or rationalization one can expect from an inebriate. His remarks are the ramblings of a drunk and are of no consequence or import.

Can someone write this in their own words:
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The clinic's investment by the game reserve has the potential to change the rural South African community depicted in the film. For the city, the game reserve is a significant source of revenue. The money from the reserve helps the community by allowing for the construction of infrastructure including schools and child-care centers. These activities, in turn, create jobs.

A workforce and human resources are needed for the game reserve and the schools. However, because of the HIV outbreak and inadequate sanitation, the rural population is vulnerable to deadly diseases. The game reserve will cultivate its human resources and extend life expectancy in the region by investing in a mobile clinic and providing free medical care to those in the community. People will work, be active, and contribute to community growth if they are safe and trained. The game reserve will spur economic development by shielding the workforce from death and disease.
