Answer:
b
Explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x + 3y = 18 → (2)
2x - 2y = 4 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by 3 and adding the result will eliminate the y- term
6x + 6y = 36 → (3)
6x - 6y = 12 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y
12x + 0 = 48
12x = 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
3(4) + 3y = 18
12 + 3y = 18 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3y = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 2
solution is (4, 2 ) → b
