    C

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    x = 12 - y → (1)

    2x + 3y = 29 → (2)

    Substitute x = 12 - y into (2)

    2 (12 - y) + 3y = 29 ← distribute and simplify left side

    24 - 2y + 3y = 29

    24 + y = 29 (subtract 24 from both sides)

    y = 5

    Substitute y = 5 into (1)

    x = 12 - 5 = 7

    Solution is x = 7, y = 5 → C
