Explanation:

In the lyrical poem "The Lady of Shallot," Tennyson describes a woman who is trapped in a tower under a curse. The curse is that she can never look outside the window, which means that her only interactions with the world are through a mirror. The lady spends all her time weaving images of the things that she sees in the mirror. One of the central ideas present in the poem is that sacrifices are necessary in order to create great art. This is the case of the lady and her art.

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
