Explain how taking risks can lead you to success. Then, provide an example of a time in which you took a risk and it paid off.

risks can allow you to explore more things within your life and allow you to reach new limits.

Personally, when I was a child I grew up with lots of childhood trauma and when I could decide if I wanted to live with my mother or grandparents; it was scary for a 10 year old. I adored my mother but I also wanted to be safe and not scared of her husband (who was abusive). When I went with my grandparents, I fell into a deep depression years on as I missed her. Now that I have grown and I am older, I have realized I have made the better choice as being with a drug addict mother and abusive stepfather would have only made me want to take my life. It was a risk that ended up in my favor as I am still here, getting therapy but I am happy.

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
