Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

2x + 3y = 24

given (x, 6 ) is a solution to the equation then the coordinate points make the equation true

substitute y = 6 into the equation and solve for x

2x + 3(6) = 24

2x + 18 = 24 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

then (3, 6 ) is a solution to the equation
