Answer:

“All the answers being different, the King agreed with none of them, and gave the reward to none. But still wishing to find the right answers to his questions, he decided to consult a hermit, widely renowned for his wisdom.”

“The King went up to him and said: ‘I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? And, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention?’”

Explanation:

<em>The Three Questions</em> is a short story written by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. It's written as a parable - a simple, short story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson.

It tells about a king who seeks the answers to what he considers the three most important questions in life. He turns to wise men, promising a large sum to the one who manages to give him the answers. However, none of them satisfied him as he found their answers too diverse. Then, he heard of a wise hermit and decided to turn to him for help. In the end, he is the one he receives his answers from.

The quotes that support the conclusion that the author's primary purpose is to teach a lesson are the first and fourth ones. They are the only ones that revolve around the King's questions. The fact that he is looking for answers suggests that we will receive some kind of important lesson at the end of the story.

What is one step you can take to improve your feeling of balance between the two? What might be hard about taking that step, and

faust18 [17]

Finding balance is important because it helps one improve overall health and wellbeing. These are steps to follow to improve a balance between things, and they can be:

Setting boundaries.
Asking for help.
Take a break.

<h3>What is a balance?</h3>

Balance is simply known to be creating time for the things you have to do as well as the things you want to do.

Setting boundaries is a method of safeguarding one's emotional and physical space, and this can be hard because most often, people feel responsible for the feeling of others and this can be overcome by telling someone how something they're doing makes you feel and asking for what you need from them instead.

Hence, we can see that creating a balance helps to prioritize important things and pay attention to body needs.

3x+7=x - 15 i dont know how to solve it <br> the answer is -11 but i dont know how to get to that

SSSSS [86.1K]

3x + 7 = x - 15

First, make sure to subtract $x$ from both sides.
$3x + 7 - x = -15$
Second, simplify 3x - x to get 2x, and then keep the 7.
$2x + 7 = -15$
Third, subtract $7$ from both sides.
$2x = -15 - 7$
Fourth, simplify -15 - 7 to get -22.
$2x = -22$
Fifth, take the 2 and divide both sides by it, keeping the $x$ by itself.
$x = - \frac{22}{2}$
Sixth, since 11 goes into 2 to get 22, simplify the fraction to 11.
$x = -11$

Answer: x = -11
