To solve the system of equations using the elimination/combination method, let's multiply the first equation by -2:
(-2)(6x - 3y) = (-2)(18)
-12x + 6y = -36
The system of equations becomes:
-12x + 6y = -36
-3x - 9y = -93
We can now add the two equations together:
(-12x + 6y) + (-3x - 9y) = (-36) + (-93)
-12x - 3x + 6y - 9y = -36 - 93
-15x - 3y = -129
Now, let's solve this equation for x:
-15x - 3y = -129
-15x = -129 + 3y
x = (-129 + 3y) / -15
x = (-3(43 - y)) / -15
x = (43 - y) / 5
Since we don't have an exact value for y, we cannot determine the exact value of x. Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the given options.
(-2)(6x - 3y) = (-2)(18)
-12x + 6y = -36
The system of equations becomes:
-12x + 6y = -36
-3x - 9y = -93
We can now add the two equations together:
(-12x + 6y) + (-3x - 9y) = (-36) + (-93)
-12x - 3x + 6y - 9y = -36 - 93
-15x - 3y = -129
Now, let's solve this equation for x:
-15x - 3y = -129
-15x = -129 + 3y
x = (-129 + 3y) / -15
x = (-3(43 - y)) / -15
x = (43 - y) / 5
Since we don't have an exact value for y, we cannot determine the exact value of x. Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the given options.
