Answer:
<u><em>For x - y = 2</em></u>
You need to find x or y in one of the equations and then substitute that into the other.
So we have;
x-y=2
4x-3y=11
We will take the first equation and find x;
x-y=2
add y to both sides;
x-y+y=2+y
x=2+y
Now we take that answer and substitute it forx in the other equation;
4(2+y)-3y=11
8+4y-3y=11
8+y=11
y=3
Now we have what y equals, so we use it in the first equation to find x;
x-3=2
x=5
So we have;
x=5; y=3
Hope you understand!

<u><em>And for 4x – 3y = 11</em></u>
Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by 3 so that there are the same number of y's in each:
8x - 6y = 22 ...(3)
30x + 6y = -3 ...(4)
Now add (3) and (4) term by term:
38x + 0 = 19
or
38x = 19
or x = 1/2
Put this back into equation (1)
4*(1/2) - 3y = 11
or
2 - 3y = 11
Subtract 2 from both sides:
-3y = 9
Divide both sides by -3
y = -3
From what you said the choices go up by 3 every time in different combinations . Its at least 36 or more combinations .
i did my best guess from the choice .. hope it helps
