Question: 1 / 410

What is the solution of the system of equations 4x + 6y = 24 and 3x - 4y = 2?

(12, -1)

The solution of a system of equations is the value of x and y that make both equations true.

To solve this problem, we can use either substitution or elimination method.

Using the substitution method, we can find the value of y by rearranging the first equation y = (24 - 4x) / 6.

We can then substitute this value into the second equation: 3x - 4(24 - 4x) / 6 = 2.

Solving for x, we get x = 12 and plugging back this value into our first equation, we get y = -1.

Hence, the solution to this system of equations is (12, -1).

The other options in this question are incorrect because they do not satisfy both equations.

For option B, (5, -6), the first

(5, -6)

(-4, 6)
