Choice A is the correct answer. Isolate y from the first equation.
Step 1: From 2x+y=15:
y=15−2x
Step 2: Substitute into the second equation:
3x−4(15−2x)=63x−60+8x=611x=66x=6
Step 3: Find y:
y=15−2(6)=3
Solution: (6,3)
Verification: 3(6)−4(3)=18−12=6 ✓
💡 Strategic Tip: Isolating y was natural since its coefficient in the first equation is 1.
Choice B is incorrect because3(4)−4(7)=12−28=−16 eq6.
Choice C is incorrect because3(5)−4(5)=15−20=−5 eq6.
Choice D is incorrect because3(7)−4(1)=21−4=17 eq6.
