In the fifth and sixth stanza of the poem, “Birthday Wishes,” Ha says, “Wish I could lose my chubby cheeks. “Wish I could stay calm no matter what
my brothers say.”
3a.)According to the novel so far, what is happening in Ha’s life to make her wish for these things?

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

your answer is b. "with strong wording encouraging readers to take action."
