Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

(a)

3x + 5y = 8 → (1)

4x - 3y = 1 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 5 and adding the result will eliminate y

9x + 15y = 24 → (3)

20x - 15y = 5 → (4)

add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y

29x + 0 = 29

29x = 29 ( divide both sides by 29 )

x = 1

substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

substituting into (1)

9(1) + 15y = 24

9 + 15y = 24 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

15y = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )

y = 1

solution is x = 1 , y = 1

-----------------------------------------

(b)

6p + 4q = 20 → (1)

5p - 2q = 6 → (2)

multiplying (2) by 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate q

10p - 4q = 12 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate q

16p + 0 = 32

16p = 32 ( divide both sides by 16 )

p = 2

substitute p = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for q

substituting into (1)

6(2) + 4q = 20

12 + 4q = 20 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

4q = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

q = 2

solution is p = 2 , q = 2

Answer:

I was walking around my neighborhood, just any ordinary day in August. I came to this empty playground with a basketball court, so I decided to sit down. This playground was the playground of all playgrounds. It had anything a 7 year old could ask for. As, I was shooting my basketball, a kid around my age came on the court on a bike. He seemed pretty annoyed so I tried to avoid him as much as I could. Well, he didn't get the message, and started riding around me in circles, being super rude. I pushed him out of my way trying to protect myself, when a lamp fell out his green and blue backpack. Obviously, I had to pick it up, and as soon as I did, the light around me flashed, and I was transported to this Utopia. There were fountains of chocolate and caramel, a 200 inch T.V., a brand new PS5(even though I prefer XBox), and so much more. I was amazed and scared at the same time. I yelled for my mom's name, and even tried to contact the boy who got me into this scenario. I thought I was completely alone, until I heard some laughing coming from this room to the left of the tower of candy. I walked in the room, and that's when I saw... TO BE CONTINUED

Banquo talking to himself, wondering when his own predicted fate will be fulfilled.

Explanation:

These lines are spoken by Banquo in Act III scene i of the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. It precedes the scene where he had been invited for a feast in his honor but before the other characters has arrived in the scene.

In this monologue, Banquo admits that now that Macbeth had acquired all the things that the three witches had prophesied, he also thinks that what had been prophesied about him might also come true. But he also admits that he thinks Macbeth had done foul play to get to where he is now. He also wonders when his own prophesied fate will be fulfilled and his descendants take on the throne of Macbeth.
