BRAINLIEST PLEASE!

hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

14x + 12y = 52

12x + 12y = 48

^^^ this is an inequality that we can make.  

x stands for pushups

y stands for situps

if we subtract the second equation from the first, we get

2x = 4

x = 2

now we can place x in one of the equations to solve for y

12(2)+12y=48

24 + 12y = 48

12y = 24

y = 2
