When solving these proportions we just remember when moving a number from one side to the other if it started in the numerator it ends up in the denominator and vice versa.
I'll do it in two steps here for teaching purposes; it's not too hard to go directly to the answer.



2x - 3y = 3.....multiply by 4
5x - 4y = 4....multiply by -3
--------------
8x - 12y = 12 (result of multiplying by 4)
-15x + 12y = -12 (result of multiplying by -3)
-------------
- 7x = 0
x = 0 <===

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum number of train cars needed is 8 because 112 multiplied by 8 is 896 which means 7 trains will be full and the last one will only carry 108 crates
6y+11=23
-11 -11
6y=12
/6 /6
y=2
