"The road to success is lined with many tempting parking spaces." - Traditional Proverb

Choice A: Explain what the quotation is saying in your own words. Include examples to
support your explanation.
Choice B: State whether you agree with the quotation. Include specific reasons as
evidence to support your opinion.

Choice A: The proverb basically means that on the road to success there are many tempting things that could keep you from being successful such as greed and other things. So say you want to be a lawyer when you grow up, someone you see in public might harass and say rude things to you making you want to fight them. This could be considered a parking space because you getting into an altercation with that person can prevent you from being successful.

Choice B: I agree with it because there are many things that could prevent you from being successful when you are trying to. There are obstacales and many things may get into your way. Take the hercules cartoon movie for example, Hercules was going on a bunch of quests to prove himself to the gods, but then he met meg on the way(this would be considered the "parking space"). This was preventing him from being successful because meg was getting in his way of proving himself to the gods, because he was getting distracted by her.

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
