In Inheritance of Tools, how does Sanders use of narrative help establish his primary focus?

Explanation:

Sanders uses the structure of the personal essay to reflect on how his childhood was negatively impacted by his father, and to reveal to himself how his childhood affects his present adulthood.

At the surface Scott Russell Sanders’ The Inheritance of Tools is a nostalgic recollection of the day his father died. However in viewing his inherited tools as a symbol, we see that Sanders is revealing more about himself than simply what happened on the day of his father’s death. Through Sanders’ symbolic use of tools we see that he struggles, in the wake of his father’s death, to continue the tradition of his ancestors while still being his own 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
