Rewrite the complete factored expression.

Answer:(5,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x,y)
so its 5 to the left and 3 up
X + y = 16 (1)
x/y = 3 (2)
-------
x + y = 16
x = 16 - y
1. Substitute x into equation 2
16-y/y = 3
16 - y = 3y
16 = 4y
y = 4
2. Now substitute y into equation 1
x/y = 3
x/4 = 2
x = 12
Therefore, x = 12, y = 4
