<u>ANSWER</u>
A. (4,12)
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The equations are:
and
To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.
It is easier to eliminate x.
We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:
We add equations (2) and (3).
Divide both sides by 23
Put x=4 into equation (1).
The solution is (4,12)
