Answer:

(12, 48 )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 5x - 12 → (1)

y = 3x + 12 → (2)

Substitute y = 5x - 12 into (2)

5x - 12 = 3x + 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 12 = 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12

Substitute x = 12 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (2)

y = 3(12) + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

solution is (12, 48 )
