Choose the solution of x + 2y = 12 and x − 2y = 4 by the elimination method.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x, y) = (8, 2)

The governing concept is elimination in simultaneous linear equations. The coefficients of y are +2 and −2, so adding the two equations eliminates y directly: (x + 2y) + (x − 2y) = 12 + 4. This gives 2x = 16 and therefore x = 8. Substituting x = 8 into x + 2y = 12 gives 8 + 2y = 12, so 2y = 4 and y = 2. Hence the ordered pair is (8, 2), which is option C. Verification is important: 8 + 2(2) = 12 and 8 − 2(2) = 4, so both original equations hold. The other pairs fail at least one equation; for example, (6,3) gives 12 in the first equation but 0 in the second, not 4.
