Being a class monitor had put me in quite a quandary. While I had to report the students' unruly behavior to the authority, I did not
want to jeopardize my friendship with my classmates. Luckily, most of my friends seemed to comprehend my problem quite well.
However, there were always a few impudent classmates who had utter disregard for the rules. They insulted and disrespected me quite
often. A particularly boisterous student was very hard to deal with. He would be rough and disorderly right after I had asked the class to
maintain peace in the teacher's absence. While I agreed with his view that some of the obsolete rules of our historic school did not apply
to the students today, I thought he needed to be more cooperative.

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
