Answer: 42

Explanation:

First of all, referencing the data given, lines M and N are definitely not parallel, and intersect.

However, considering the system included in the question, you may solve for x in a plethora of ways, assuming both expressions are complete, and equal to f(x).

4x - 24 = y

3x + 18 = y

Using the elimination method, consolidate these equations into:

x - 42 = 0

x = 42

Hope it helps :) and post a more complete question if this isn't the answer you were looking for.
