Then he dismembered them and made his meal, gaping and crunching like a mountain lion –

everything: innards, flesh, and marrow bones.

We cried aloud, lifting our hands to Zeus . . .

but Cyclops went on filling up his belly

with manflesh and great gulps of whey

-The Odyssey,
Homer

What inference can be made about the Cyclops based on the passage?

The Cyclops eats men because he is hungry and does not have any other source of food.
The Cyclops is more like a violent animal than a civilized man.
The Cyclops is very frightened and concerned with protecting himself from the men.
The Cyclops is deeply religious and is making a sacrifice to Zeus.

ismene wants to follow the rules, unlike antigone who'd rather break them for her brother.

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
