1st equation should be multiplied with 3
6x+9y=24
-6x+4y=11
________
13y=35
y=35/13
2x+3y=8...1
put y=35/13 in 1
2x+3(35/13)=8
26x+105=104
26x=-1
x=-1/26
Answer:
David has 12 pears.
Step-by-step explanation:
4 + 9 = 13
39 / 13 = 3
3 x 4 = 12
3 x 9 = 27

Other method:

zeros of numerator and denominator are x = -2 and x = 4.
Look at the second picture.
for x < -2 → x + 2 < 0 and x - 4 < 0
therefore 
for -2 < x < 4 → x + 2 > 0 and x - 4 < 0
therefore 
for x > 4 → x + 2 > 0 and x - 4 > 0
therefore 
<h3>Answer: B) -2 < x < 4</h3>
