What kind of connotation does the word stalked evoke

Negative connotation. This is because when you STALK someone you are getting into there personal space, and private life without their permission, which is illegal. A way you can see that it's a negative connotation is because when it becomes as serious as a crime it becomes harassment (and that's where restraining orders come in but that's another topic).

Have a BLESSED day!

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
