In “borders,” by thomas king, the mother’s refusal to declare either american or canadian citizenship is best explained by her character’s a. combativeness b. dullness c. pride d. stubbornness

: b : o   : 0 ; b : - )  

: b: b: b: b: b: b: b: b: b

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
