long past her prime, yet she hadn't bothered to find out.

had long since been defeated by time but was still fighting
pointlessly against it.
What are two literary themes that can be identified in this
description?
A. The uselessness of youth and the value of kindness
OB. The cruelty of time and the importance of integrity
C. The indignity of vanity and the futility of the pursuit
of beauty
D. The inevitability of aging and the dignity of self-
worth

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
