Responding to: After Twenty Years 1. What is one of the themes of this piece? Describe and give at least two examples of evidence of this theme.

2. How well do think O. Henry used irony in this story? Explain your answer using textual support from the reading.

3. What type of conflict does this story use? Provide textual support for your answer.

4. What are the two best examples of imagery O. Henry uses in this story? Explain why you chose those examples.

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

there is no excerpt.

put the excerpt in the comments and ill answer.

the correct answer is "dissent"

explanation:

because dissent is when one or more judges express disagreement with the majority in court, in specific legal systems.   an   argument in opposition is presented to the court, with a different interpretation, or application.
