Answer:
a. (-1/2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of x have opposite signs, so the x-terms can be eliminated by adding the two equations.
(2y -12x) +(3y +12x) = (16) +(9)
5y = 25 . . . . . . simplify
y = 5 . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
This matches only answer choice A.

The other part of answer choice A is x = -1/2. We can test this to make sure it works:
2(5) -12(-1/2) = 16
10 + 6 = 16 . . . . . . true, the selected answer works OK
First, apply the distributive property to the left side of the inequality. Multiply each of the two numbers inside the parentheses by 6 and then add those products. Next, subtract -24 from both sides. Then, to get \begin{align*}x\end{align*} by itself on one side of the inequality, you need to divide both sides by 6.
