Answer 1

Option (2).x = -8

Explanation:

Given system of equations to create the opposite terms of y-variable is,

`4((1)/(4)x-(3)/(4)y=34)` →
`x-3y=136` ------(1)

`24((3)/(4)x+(1)/(8)y=-12)` → 18x + 3y = -288 ---------(2)

By adding both the equations (1) and (2)

(x - 3y) + (18x + 3y) = 136 - 288

(x + 18x) + (-3y + 3y) = -152

19x = -152

x = -
`(152)/(19)`

x = -8

Therefore, value of x = -8.

Option (2) will be the answer.
