The properties that justify the steps taken to solve the given system are as follows:

6x – 8y = 18, 2x + 8y = 6

[Multiplication property of equality]

8x = 24

[Addition property of equality]

x = 3

[Division property of equality]

3(3) – 4y = 9

[Substitution property of equality]

9 – 4y = 9

[Simplify]

-4y = 0

[Subtraction property of equality]

y = 0

[Division property of equality]
