Solve for x and y using x + 2y = 8 and 3x + 4y = 16

 x  + 2y = 8


3x + 4y =
16


Multiply, the everything in the first equation by
3


By multiplying, your equation should look
like


3x + 6y =
24


3x + 4y = 16
now, subtract 3x with 3x ( also subtract 6y with 4y and 24 with
16)


By subtracting your equation should look
like


2y = 8 divide both sides
by 2


By dividing, your equation should look
like


y = 4 which is your
answer for " y "


Now plug 4 into one of the
equation


x + 2 ( 4 ) =
8 multiply 2 with 4


By
multiplying, your equation should look like


x
+ 8 = 8
subtract 8 on both sides


By
subtracting, your equation should look like


x
= 0
which is your answer for " x "


So, your
answer is x = 0    ;  y = 4

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
