By multiplying 2nd equation by 2.
\(4x-12y = -22\)
By adding this with 1st equation, we get
\(-x = -4 \)
\(x = 4\)
Putting the value of x in 1st equation
\(y = 4\)
\(x*y = 16\)
\(x+y = 8 \)
Hence, A

How is Y= 4?
12Y - 5X = 18
12y -20 = 18
12Y = 38
Y= 38/12 (it's not 48 by 4)
thats 3.166
4 + 3.166 = 7.166
4*3.666 > 12
A>B
