Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Rewrite the system of equations
The given system of equations is:
\[
\begin{aligned}
x + y &= 12 \\
5x + y &= 0
\end{aligned}
\]
Step 2: Solve for \( y \) in both equations
From the first equation:
\[
y = 12 - x
\]
From the second equation:
\[
y = -5x
\]
Step 3: Set the two expressions for \( y \) equal to each other
\[
12 - x = -5x
\]
Step 4: Solve for \( x \)
Add \( 5x \) to both sides:
\[
12 + 4x = 0
\]
Subtract \( 12 \) from both sides:
\[
4x = -12
\]
Divide both sides by \( 4 \):
\[
x = -3
\]
Step 5: Substitute \( x = -3 \) back into one of the equations to find \( y \)
Using \( y = 12 - x \):
\[
y = 12 - (-3) = 15
\]
Final Answer
The solution to the system of equations is:
\[
\boxed{(-3, 15)}
\]
The correct choice is:
A. There is one solution. The solution is \(\boxed{(-3, 15)}\).
