When does risk or reward outweigh the other? In your response, provide specific examples from your readings or experiences.

Explanation:

We could rightly conclude that risk outweigh reward when the result of taking risk results is a priceless reward. For example, someone who takes the risk of saving a life could by no means receive a reward that correspond to the human life that was saved.

However, a reward might outweigh the risk if for example, the reward preserves one from loses rather than taking a risk which doesn't matchup to the available reward.

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
