The sum of two numbers, x and y, is 12. The difference of four times the larger number and two times the smaller number is 18. Which system of equations should you use to find the two numbers? A x – y = 12 4x – 2y = 18 B x + y = 12 x – y = 18 C x + y = 12 2x – 4y = 18 D x + y = 12 4x – 2y = 18

Respuesta :

The answer is D, as it asks for the sum of x and y, not the difference.
