Solution :
2a + 2b = 7 ...1)
4a + 3b = 12 ...2)
In equation, 1)
a = (7 - 2b)/2 ...3)
Putting value of a in equation 2) we get :
4 × (7 - 2b)/2 + 3b = 12
2( 7 - 2b ) + 3b = 12
14 - 4b + 3b = 12
b = 2
Putting value of b in 3) we get :
a = ( 7 - 2×2)/2
a = 3/2 = 1.5
Now,
2x - 3y = 16 ...5)
x + 2y = -6 ...6)
x = -6 - 2y
Putting above value of x in eq 5) , we get :
2( -6 - 2y ) - 3y = 16
-12 - 4y - 3y = 16
7y = -28
y = -4
x = -6 - ( 2× -4 )
x = 2
Hence, this is the required solution.
Your answer is x = 3 because if you take 150 and subtract it by both sides:
150 - 35x = 45
-150 -150
you have to cross out both 150 and -150, take 45 and subtract 150 which will give you -105.
-35x = -105
take -35 and divide by both sides. Cross out the two -35's. Take -105/-35 which your answer is x = 3. Hopes this helps. :)

Can you help I have tried 4 times
C because you have to round and it would be C
