Fair Phyllis I saw sitting all alone, Feeding her flock near to the mountain side. The shepherds knew not whither she was gone, But after her [her] lover Amyntas hied. Up and down he wandered, whilst she was missing; When he found her, oh, then they fell a-kissing. Up and down .

Fair Phyllis I Saw Sitting All Alone - John Farmer

More of an English madrigal than a poem

Explanation:

Amyntas, the shepherd, is searching for his love, Phylis. He's not certain where she ended up going, and neither are the shepherds, but he hastened, roaming everywhere, till he encountered her, and they began to kiss (all over!).You can't but grin at the thought of two young lovers who have a fair amount of a roll in their hay on the side of the mountain.

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

i think the best answer would be d allowing 30 seconds between response would give time for what was already said to sink down in your mind.
