To answer this question, we can take the coordinates (2, 4), and (3, 6) and substitute each of them in the given equation. Then, we can determine which of these ordered pairs is a solution of the equation 7x - 5 = 4y - 6. Then, we have:

1. Case: Ordered pair (2, 4):


7\cdot(2)-5=4\cdot(4)-6\Rightarrow14-5=16-6\Rightarrow9\\e10

This ordered pair is NOT a solution.

2. Case: Ordered pair (3, 6):


7\cdot(3)-5=4\cdot(6)-6\Rightarrow21-5=24-6\Rightarrow16\\e18

This ordered pair is NOT a solution.

Therefore, neither the ordered pair (2, 4) nor (3, 6) are solutions to the given equation (Option D).
