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

In at least one hundred words, explain the significance of the carp in Wang's "The Carp."
Nikolay [14]
In "The Carp," by Yun Wang, the use of the carp to represent something deeper is an example of Synecdoche. The carp is used to represent the pain and injustice of her father’s imprisonment. “The Carp is dedicated to Wang’s father, and many of the poems in her little book tell stories from that period.

Remember, a symbol is an object that takes on a meaning other than its literal meaning.

In the poem, the carp is literally a fish that takes on a deeper meaning. Confucius named his son Carp, and his son died young. The speaker's father was imprisoned and beaten. Therefore, the carp represents sadness and pain.
