Answer :

C. (2,3) The solution to the system of equations is where the two lines will intersect. looking at the graph that point is closest to C. (2,3)
5x + 2y = 16 ⇒ 5x + 2y = 16
  x + 3y = 12 ⇒ 5x + 15y = 180
                                -13y = -164
                                 -13      -13
                                     y = 12 8/13
               5x + 2(12 8/13) = 16
                   5x + 25 3/13 = 16
                          -25 3/13   -25 3/13
                                   5x = -9 3/13
                                    5          5
                                     x = -1 11/13
                               (x, y) = (-1 11/13, 12 8/13)
B. (3, 2)
