Choice B is the correct answer. Multiply second by 2 to eliminate $y$.

Step 1: Multiply second by 2: $6x - 4y = 10$

Step 2: Add to first: $(6x + 4y) + (6x - 4y) = 34 + 10$$12x = 44$$x = \frac{11}{3}$

Non-integer. - First: $6(3) + 4(4) = 18 + 16 = 34$ ✓

• Second: $3(3) - 2(4) = 9 - 8 = 1 \ eq 5$

💡 Strategic Tip: Matching the $6x$ coefficient made addition clean.

**Other choices fail verification.
