Which of the following correctly solves the equation: x – y = 6 and x + y = 16?

by

A. x = 5 and y = 2
B. x = 8 and y = 4
C. x = 11 and y = 5 
D. x = 12 and y = 6

🧠 Explanation (Math):

Given: x − y = 6, x + y = 16
Step 1: Add equations ⇒ 2x = 22 ⇒ x = 11
Step 2: Substitute into x + y = 16 ⇒ y = 5
Final Answer: x = 11 and y = 5
