Answer:

option C (3, 2)

Explanation:

We have to solve the system of equation by substitution method.

2x + y = 8 ------(1)

y = -x + 5 -------(2)

Now we substitute the value of y from equation (2) to equation (1)

2x + ( -x + 5) = 8

2x - x + 5 = 8

x + 5 = 8

x = 8 - 5

x = 3

Now from equation (2)

y = -x + 5

y = - 3 + 5

y = 2

Therefore, option C (3, 2) will be the answer.
