What evidence supports the serious nature of the sonnet? select two options. “my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun” “if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.” “i have seen roses damask'd, red and white” “i love to hear her speak” “and yet by heaven, i think my love as rare”

“I love to hear her speak” “And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare” , are the two options that evidence the serious nature of the sonnet.

This is Shakespeare's sonnet 130, in which he mocks Petrarch's sonnets. In Petrarch's sonnets the loved one, Laura in this case, had supreme qualities. Nothing could be compared to her beauty. Her hair could be compared with the sun, her eyes with the sky, and she looked like an angel.

So in this sonnet Shakespeare says that even though his loved one is not perfect, he loves her and loves to hear her speak even though she doesn't sound like music, and sees his love as rare and valuable because it is based on humanly and not heavenly traits; and unlike others it is not based on unlikely comparisons.

Explanation:

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
