    Step-by-step explanation:

    To use elimination, you need to make the coefficients of one of the variables the same in each equation. For example, we can multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3:

    6x + 4y = 24

    6x + 15y = 24

    Now we can subtract the equations, eliminating the x terms.

    (6x + 15y) - (6x + 4y) = 24 - 24

    11y = 0

    y = 0

    Now plug into either equation to find x.

    3x + 2y = 12

    3x + 0 = 12

    x = 4
