The solution of the system of equations is the point (-6, 6), so the correct option is B.

<h3>Which statements are correct about the system of equations?</h3>

Here we have the system of equations:

2x + 3y = 6

x + 3y = 12

First, let's write these two lines in the slope-intercept form:

y = (6 - 2x)/3 = 2 - (2/3)*x

y = (12 - x)/3 = 4 - (1/3)*x

Now, because "y" is the represents the same variable in both equations, we can write:

2 - (2/3)*x = y = 4 - (1/3)*x

Now we can solve that for x.

2 - (2/3)*x =  4 - (1/3)*x

2 - 4 = (2/3)*x - (1/3)*x

-2 = (1/3)*x

3*(-2) = x = -6

Now, to get the y-value of the solution we can evaluate any of the two lines in x = -6, evaluating the first we get:

y =  4 - (1/3)*x = 4 - (1/3)*(-6) = 4 + 2 = 6

Then the solution of the system is the point (-6, 6). Then the correct statement is B:

"The values of x= -6 and y= 6 satisfy both the equations; therefore, (-6, 6) is the solution."

I Believe it would remain the same unless there is a fee for converting the dollar to yen in the first place.
