Choose whether each example is in first-person or third-person point of view.
As the bus inched through traffic, I silently wished, "Please let the store be open when I get there."
Billy's parents looked at the mess in the room. Neither one was looking forward to cleaning it up.
I saw the look on Sasha's face. She was going either to cry or to laugh. I thought, "Better be prepared either way."

The first Example is in 1st person, The second example is in 3rd, and the third example is in 1st

Explanation:

for the first and third example, the usage of words like i show that it is in first person

As the bus inched through traffic, I silently wished, "Please let the store be open when I get there."

First Person

Billy's parents looked at the mess in the room. Neither one was looking forward to cleaning it up.

Third Person

I saw the look on Sasha's face. She was going either to cry or to laugh. I thought, "Better be prepared either way."

First Person

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

so is this a rhetorical question?
