Explanation

Choice C is correct. The solution to the system of two equations corresponds to the point where the graphs of the equations intersect. The graphs of the linear equation and the nonlinear equation shown intersect at the point 2,4. Thus, the solution to the system is 2,4.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
