Frank solved an equation and got the result x=x. Sarah solved the same equation and got 16=16. Frank says that one of them is in

correct because you cannot get different results for the same equation. What would you say to frank? If both results are indeed correct, explain how this happened.

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

Please i’m begging y’all to help me, the questions are in the picture and the passage is down below.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

1. The shrubs and grassland.

It says in the passage the "To the right were the narrow beaches of the Spanish coastline, its shrubs and grassland burnt down after a long summer." This clearly shows that the summer has been hot as the plants and grasses have been burnt down.

2. Herds of goats, two ragged young goatherds.

Again, the passage says that they were close enough to shore to make out these two features.

3. They got tired

It says in the passage that the dolphins got "tired of its sport" and "turned aside"

4. This one you obviously have to do yourself, but here's an example of how I would put it.

i. He wanted to go further into Morocco to get an adventure

ii. His job (protecting his sister from a rouge), and earning money for the family in the place of his ill father

5. He was not troubled because he had gone on many fishing expeditions as a boy and was used to these rough sea conditions.

6. He wanted to become a sailor when he was a boy. Lempriere lived on the island of Jersey.

7. I don't see any italics. However, most of the time, authors use italics to highlight important ideas or express the main character's thoughts. For example it would be like: "The sea was <em>very</em> rough" or "<em>That's the last supper we are going to get.</em> She thought."

   1. exhilerating - exciting

   2. egnimatical - difficult to understand

   3. endure - last as in lasting during a difficult time

   4. petered out - faded out, became less as in they slowly stopped talking

ii. This again, you might want to do yourself. But here's how I would put it.

These words helped create and convey more vivid images, helping the reader depict exactly how he felt or what he saw.

I hope this was helpful. Sorry it took so long to type out :)
