3x+6 = 4y 3x+4 = 2y The solution to the given system of equations is (x,y). What is the value of y?
Correct answer: 1
(parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key

Explanation
The correct answer is 1. Subtracting the second equation from the first equation 3 -3 + 6-4 =4 -2 in the given system of equations yields ^ x xh ^ h y y, which is 0+2=2 = equivalent to y, or 2 2y. Dividing each side of this equation by 2 yields = 1 y.
