Choice C is the correct answer. Multiply first by 2 and second by 3 to eliminate $y$.

Step 1: Multiply: $8x - 6y = 20$$15x + 6y = 78$

Step 2: Add: $23x = 98$$x = \frac{98}{23}$

Non-integer. - First: $4(4) - 3(2) = 16 - 6 = 10$ ✓

• Second: $5(4) + 2(2) = 20 + 4 = 24 \ eq 26$

💡 Strategic Tip: LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.

**Other choices fail verification.
