<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
<u><em>x=-5 </em></u>
<u><em>B. -5</em></u>
<u><em>*The answer must have a negative sign.*</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Definition of subtraction property of equality.
Subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.
First, you had to switch sides.
Then, you subtract by 12 from both sides of an equation.
And finally, simplify or solve.

Answer:
a: no solutions
b: (2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
a:
In both equations, the slope of x is the same, but the y-intercept is not, which means they are parallel. Therefore, this system of equations has no solutions.
b:
Since both of the equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other:
We can solve by factoring (by finding a number that multiplies to 4 and adds up to -4):
(x-2)^2 = 0
x = 2
Now, to find y, plug-in x to any of the equations:
y = 2*2-1 = 3
Therefore, the solution to this system of equation is (2, 3)
I hope this helped.
