PLEASE HEL Discuss Fitzgerald's purpose in offering such a lengthy, elaborate
description of Gatsby's house and parties.
a. Discuss how this party contrasts with Tom and Myrtle's party in
Chapter 2 and explain Fitzgerald's purpose in creating such a
dichotomy.

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

the answer is most likely c. it shows us that the rules that the pigs make can change on a whim whenever it suits the pigs purpose.

hope this
