Weighing the Facts: Now that you listed the contributions and flaws as discussed in the film, go back and add any other information you already know about Washington and Jefferson. Looking at the chart, it’s time to weigh the facts. How do you think we should view the Founding Fathers? Should we focus more on their contributions or their flaws? Why?

can you copy and paste what selections you read? the answer is based off of that.

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 mistakes that have been done in the past will repeat themselves

- you will trust all the wrong people
