An unknown number y is 12 more than an unknown number x. the number y is also x less than 17. the equations to find x and y are shown below. y = x + 12 y = −x + 17 which of the following statements is a correct step to find x and y? multiply the equations to eliminate y. write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x-axis. write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y-axis. add the equations to eliminate x.

Add the equations to eliminate x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 12 equation 1

y = −x + 17 equation 2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2 gives 2Y = 29X has been eliminated

Y = 14.5

Substituting value of Y in equation 1

14.5 = x+12

X= 2.5

So

Y = 14.5

X= 2.5

i think it's either c or d

step-by-step explanation: the entire question is extremely odd. 04 obviously refers to the interest rate. honestly i will say the answer is c. because the (2 x 12) part would mean it's compounded semiannually. i'll say choose c.
