What is the answer to this usatestprep its hard

answer; i believe that the   correct answer is (d)the use of descriptive words that bring your reader into the story, not using literal words for check luck

d. the two authors are in awe of nature; their experiences, reveal that time in nature can change people.

explanation:

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
