I think i's 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 which is equal to 243
2x + 3y = 40
+
-2x + 2y = 20
___________ Adding both equations
0x + 5y = 60
____________
5y = 60
y = 60/5 = 12
y = 12.
Since we have gotten y =12, and the only option with that is option D.
So we don't have to solve for x.
The answer is D.
Can you attach the figures?
