Answer:

D. (2, 6)

Explanation:

Put y as x+4 in the first equation and solve for x.

x + 2(x + 4) = 14

x + 2x + 8 = 14

3x = 14 - 8

3x = 6

x = 2

Put x as 2 in the second equation and solve for y.

y = 2 + 4

y = 6

Answer:

(2,6)

Explanation:

x+2y = 14

y = x+4

Substitute x+4 into the first equation for y

x+2(x+4) = 14

Distribute

x+2x+8 = 14

3x+8 = 14

Subtract 8 from each side

3x+8-8 = 14-8

3x = 6

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

Now solve for y

y = x+4

y =2+4

y =6

(2,6)
