The style of realism in literature focuses on

a. actual events and people in history.
b. gritty portrayals of the different social classes.
c. the glamorous life of the rich and famous.
d. the routine lives of regular people.

D: The routine lives or regular people

Explanation:

Realism is about writing things as they are. Often times what you see in a rich or famous persons life is not the full story. It is usually just a glamorized version of things. Therefore the answer is D. the lives of regular people. We don't know what it's really like to live in a rich or famous persons life, as they do not show us real events in their lives.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
