Answer:

(6, -5)  (Answer C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by 2.  We get the following equivalent system:

4x + 2y = 14

 x - 2y  = 16

------------------

  5x = 30, or x = 6.

Substituting 6 for x in the second equation, we get

6 - 2y = 16, or

  -  2y = 10, so that y = -5

and the solution is (6, -5)  (Answer C)
