B) No

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if the ordered pair (4, -2) is a solution, substitute x = 4 and y = -2 into both equations. For the first equation, 2(4) = 6 - (-2) simplifies to 8 = 8, which is true. For the second equation, 3(4) = 8 - 2(-2) simplifies to 12 = 12, which is also true. Since the ordered pair satisfies both equations, it is a solution to the system.
