In surveys mason city residents rank water sports (swimming, boating and fishing) among their favorite recreational activities. the mason river flowing through the city is rarely used for these pursuits, however, and the city park department devotes little of its budget to maintaining riverside recreational facilities. for years there have been complaints from residents about the quality of the river’s water and the river’s smell. in response, the state has recently announced plans to clean up mason river. use of the river for water sports is therefore sure to increase. the city government should for that reason devote more money in this year’s budget to riverside recreational facilities. write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. be sure to explain how the argument depends on the assumptions and what the implications are if these assumptions prove unwarranted.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

answer: x = 4 and y = 4

The answer is either b or c because it is in third person point of view but i'm not sure which one it is

Hi, my name is maya gupta.i'm here at a bank robbery that happened a few minutes ago.a man named tryce ramder is suspected to be the robber.i am here with daniel cottle to describe what happened."it was terrifying. we all just heard the door break and turned around. some man just had a gun and told us to freeze and drop our phones. luckily we had cameras. continuing on, the man walked up to a worker, and said "give me the money or i'll shoot you." i did not believe what i heard. after a few minutes, we heard sirens, and the robber looked fearful, yet so angry. so he took out a bomb and threw it near us. i was in the military, so i know what to do, so i told everyone to move away atleast and duck down and cover their ears. i almost got affected, but some woman was able to grab me and put me down, and cover my ears. she got affected, she passed out, and was taken to the hospital. i am gonna visit her now to her and give her gifts for what she did." you daniel cottle, let's all hope this woman will be alright. i am maya gupta and we are signing off. (sorry if it's too long, maybe this will you get an idea? )
