Troy Davis was not allowed to submit to the lie detector to prove his guilt before being executed, as a last resort to avoid lethal injection. His defenders accused the Court of racial discrimination.
Davis´s attorney, Stephen Marsh, has commented that the Georgia department of corrections rejected the request to take the polygraph test. However, until the last minute Davis, did not recognize himself guilty of the murder of police officer Mark McPhail in 1989.
In spite of the doubts about the sentence, lack of real evidence of Davis´s participation in that murder and numerous social protests, the supreme court of the United States rejected the last request of clemency.
In both cases we can infer, although the country fights in order to defeat the racism, is a currently present problem.

Answer:
C. 9
Explanation:
Let's add up the other side of the equation first. So we do 9+11 according to the order of operations and we get 20. We then add 10 to 20 and we get 30. Now we look at the other side and see that the numbers are the same, except 11 and 9 will be flipped. So the blank is 9.
I hope this helped!
