Both the New Jersey and Virginia Plans dealt with how the states should be represented in Congress. The Virginia Plan favored states with a large population, which back then, meant states like Virginia and Massachusetts. The Virginia Plan said that states should be represented according to their population. The greater the population of a state, the more representatives they would have.
The New Jersey Plan favored the small states, such as New Jersey and Rhode Island. This plan called for every state to receive the same number of representatives, regardless of population.
The Constitutional Convention ended up adopting both plans through what was called the Great Compromise. The New Jersey Plan would be used in the upper house, or Senate. Every state would receive two representatives--no more, no less.
The Virginia Plan was used in the lower house, or House of Representatives. There, every state receives representatives based on the state's population. These representatives can be adjusted as states gain or lose population.

2x-y=4 5x-y=13 solve each system graphically check your solution

I don't know if you want to solve by elimination or substitution, so I will choose the easiest;) If you want the other repost and I will do it another way.

2x - y = 4
5x - y = 13

Looking at the equations, the easiest way to solve is by elimination because the y's line up already.

Since the signs on the y's are the same we will subtract the second line from the first line.

2x - y = 4
-(5x -y = 13)
-----------------
-3x = 0 = -9 (2x -5x =-3x, -y--y=0, 4-13=-9)

To get x by itself, divide both sides by -3

-3x = -9
---- ----
-3 -3

x = 3 (negative divided by negative is positive)

To calculate y, put x=3 into either equation. I will put it in the first one.

2 (3) - y = 4
6 - y = 4
y+ 6 - y = 4 + y (I want y positive, so I add y to both sides)
6 = 4 + y
-4 + 6 = 4 + y -4 (I want y by itself, so I subtract 4 from both sides)
2 = y

So my POI (point of intersection) is (3,2)

Normally, a lot of people end there, but I always like to check my answers to prove that I didn't make any silly mistakes.

To do this, I do a left side right side comparison using the equation that I didn't use to solve for the second variable.

Left Side Right Side
5x - y 13
5(3) - 2 13
15 - 2 13
13 = 13
QED

I just proved that I did it all correctly. It the left side didn't equal the right side, I would go back and find my error and recheck it with my left side right side check.

Good luck,

Paul

Connotation meaning of the Agenda refer( We had agenda remembering our anthems of loss)

The word "agenda" has a negative connotation.This use may have come from the longer expression "hidden agenda" (which effectively means "hidden purpose", "hidden thought behind doing something").
If you want a more positive connotation, then you could simply say: "He has a plan", "He has a proposal.

In reference to "We had an agenda: remembering our anthems of loss"
Africans came to Berlin with an agenda (means purpose). There is a thought of taking revenge for their losses and cries.
