Read the passage and then answer the question: In the early days of automobiles, rain was a real problem for drivers. Water covered the windshields, so drivers had to open their windows and stick their heads outside to see! When Mary Anderson saw drivers struggling in the rain, she thought she could help. Anderson started working on designs for a rain-clearing device. Even after many failures, she kept experimenting. This **persistence** resulted in Mary Anderson's invention of the modern windshield wiper. Her design put a rubber blade on a wooden stick. Today's wipers use the same basic principle that Mary Anderson dreamed up in 1903. What is the meaning of "persistence" as used in the passage? * 1.the quality of continuing in spite of difficulty
2.the lack of a sense of humor
3.a feeling of confusion or bewilderment
4.a feeling of sorrow or great sadness

answer: the anser is 3

step-by-step explanation:

c- 2o is equal to 9

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
