Respuesta :

B is the correct answer to your question

we have

[tex] 2x-2y=6 [/tex] ------> equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] 4x+4y=28 [/tex] ------> equation [tex] 2 [/tex]

Multiply by [tex] 2 [/tex] the equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] 4x-4y=12 [/tex] ------> equation [tex] 3 [/tex]

Sum equation [tex] 2 [/tex] and equation [tex] 3 [/tex]

[tex] 4x+4y=28\\ 4x-4y=12\\ ------\\ 8x=40\\ x=40/8\\ x=5 [/tex]

Substitute the value of x in the equation [tex] 2 [/tex]

[tex] 4x+4y=28 [/tex]

[tex] 4*5+4y=28\\ 4y=28-20\\ 4y=8\\ y=8/4\\y=2 [/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option B

[tex] (5,2) [/tex]
