What similarity in theme do "a maiden's lamet" and "homer invoking the muse" from the lliad bothhave in commen?

The answer is Both Chryses in The Iliad the narrator in "A Maiden's Lament" have lost a loved one.

I agree with LeanSpark605

Explanation:

after looking at some information i found, LeanSpark605* gave an amazing description for the answer

onto a large boat, and mark the water level that the boat sinks to. then, take the elephant out and put a bunch of marked weights onto the boat until it reaches the same water level. add up the masses of the weights to get the weight of the elephant.

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
