Which statement regarding the ancient greek belief about the power of love is false?

a man can be ruined by love.
love can cause family strife.
eros controls love.
gods are immune to the power of love.

The answer is: Gods are immune to the power of love.

Ancient Greek mythology considered love to be a form of mania or madness that could overtake men or women (not the gods), at least if we stick to the canonical definition given by Plato on his dialogue called Symposium, where, amongst other speakers, Socrates and Alcibiades debate over the nature of love, showing how Socrates takes good care not to fall under the spell of the love he feels for the young, beautiful and clever Alcibiades.

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
