Alas, shall i have no longer respite? i may say death giveth no warning: to think on thee, it maketh my heart sick, for all unready is my book of reckoning. but twelve year and i might have abiding, my counting book i would make so clear, that my reckoning i should not need to fear. wherefore, death, i pray thee, for god's mercy, spare me till i be provided of remedy.

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
