Answer:

A. (1, 2)

Explanation:

8x+4y=16

7y=15-x

Divide both sides of the first equation by 4.

2x + y = 4 Eq. 1

Solve 2nd equation for x.

x = 15 - 7y

Substitute x of Eq. 1 with 15 - 7y.

2(15 - 7y) + y = 4

30 - 14y + y = 4

30 - 13y = 4

-13y = -26

y = 2

Substitute 2 for y in Eq. 1.

2x + 2 = 4

2x = 2

x = 1

Solution: (1, 2)

Answer: A. (1, 2)
