Answer:

Option B is correct.

The value of x is, 0

Explanation:

Given the system of equation:

-x+2y =6 .....[1]

6y =x+18 ......[2]

We can write equation [1] as;

-x = 6-2y or

x = -6 + 2y ......[3]

Substitute equation [3] in [2] we get;

6y =-6 + 2y + 18

or

6y = 2y +12

Subtract 2y from both sides we get;

6y -2y = 2y+ 12 -2y

Simplify:

4y = 12

Divide both sides by 4 we get;


(4y)/(4) =(12)/(4)

Simplify:

y =3

Substitute the value of y in equation [3] to solve for x;

x = -6 + 2(3)

x = -6 +6 = 0

Therefore, the value of x is, 0
