Answer:

(5, 1) (Answer C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the second equation features x as a function of y:  x = y + 4.  We can substitute y + 4 for x in the first equation, obtaining:

y + 4 + y = 6

and then, after we combine like terms,

2y = 2, or y = 1.

x = y + 4, subbing 1 for y here results in x = 1 + 4, or x = 5

The solution is (5, 1) (Answer C)
