Answer:

I believe the answer would be b

Explanation:

Solve equation 1 for the variable y

y = -5x

Plug this in for variable y in equation

4•(-5x) + 12x = 16

- 8x = 16

Solve equation 2 for the variable x

8x = - 16

x = - 2

so far we know this

y = -5x

x = -2

Use the x value to solve for y

y = -5(-2) = 10

which would give us the answer B
