The Wright family budget allows twice as much money for rent as
for food. Their budget allows
less than $720 for both food and
rent. What is the most they can
spend on food?

The most that they can spend in food is $239

Step-by-step explanation:

Their budget allows for less than $720 for both food and rent.

We are told that this budget allows

twice as much money for rent as

for food.

Thus,

Let x be amount of spent on food.

Thus, money spent on rent is 2x

Thus,

2x + x < 720

3x < 720

x < 720/3

x < 240

Since x should be less than 240,it means that the most that they can spend in food is $239

step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
