Answer:

(2,14)

Explanation:

so i solved this with substitution but there are other methods to solve this!

equation 1 : y = -x + 16
equation 2 : y = x + 12

solve for y in equation 1 !!
y = -x + 16
(add x on both sides)
y + x = 16
(subtract y on both sides)
x = -y + 16

equation 1 now equals : x = -y + 16

substitute equation 1 into equation 2 :)

y = (-y + 16) + 12
(add 16 + 12)
y = -y + 28
(add y on both sides)

2y = 28
(divide 2 on both sides)
y = 14


now to solve for x you can insert y !
you can use equation 1 or equation 2 to solve for x.

i'm using equation 2 :
y = x + 12
(14) = x + 12
(subtract 12 on both sides)
x = 2

therefore, the answer is (2, 14).

hope this helps :p
