Answer explanation

The correct answer is 99 . In the given system of equations, the second equation is x+8=11. Subtracting 8 from both sides of this equation yields x=3. In the given system of equations, the first equation is y=x2+14x+48. Substituting 3 for x in this equation yields y=32+143+48, or y=99. Therefore, the solution to the given system of equations is x,y=3,99. Thus, the value of y is 99 .
