Question #N718
If $3x + 2y = 12$ and $x - 2y = 4$, what is the value of $x$?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 6
D. 8
Correct Answer is: C
To solve for *x*, we can add the two equations together. This eliminates *y* and gives us $4x = 16$. Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we get *x* = 4. Therefore, the value of *x* is 6.
