Gwendolyn Brooks "Still do I keep my look, my identity" is an elaborate sonnet with a lot of strong word choices. Which literary device is most dominant in the way the first four lines sound?:
"Each body has its art, its precious prescribed
Pose, that even in passion's droll contortions, waltzes,
Or push or pain or when a grief is stabbed
Or hatred hacked-is its and nothing else's."

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4
