Jake and mike took a different number of tests. jake scored 85 points on each test. mike's total score was 15 less than jake's total score. the following expression shows mike's total score: 85x − 15 in the expression, what does the variable x represent? (5 points) select one: a. the total number of tests mike took b. the total number of tests jake took c. the sum of jake's and mike's total score d. the difference between jake's and mike's total score

d is correct

step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
