Which element is missing from this evaluation? the thesis statement

a summary of the claim

an evaluation of the evidence

a concluding statement

An evaluation of the evidence

Explanation:

The thesis statement is essentially the main idea of a research or claim. It is usually short and concise such that it fits into a sentence. In this scenario that would be the author saying that everyone who is registered to vote should vote and those who are not registered should register.

There is also a concluding statement and a summary of the claim in the last paragraph.

What is missing however, is the evaluation of evidence. The claim did not present evidence as to why people should vote so evaluation is impossible.

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
