Hello
x = 3y - 6
2x - 4y = 8
We need to start by solving 3y - 6 for x
Substitute 3y -6 for x in 2x
2x - 4y = 8
2(3y - 6) - 4y = 8
2y - 12 = 8
2y = 8 + 12
2y = 20
Divide both sides by 2
2y/2 = 20/2
y = 10
Now, substitute 10 for y in x= 3y
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(10) - 6
x = 30 - 6
x= 24
Answer : x = 24 and y=10
I hope this help!
1 pint = 20 fl. oz
20/5 = 4 cups can be filler per pint
4*2.5 = 10 cups can be filled overall
