• Choice E

    It is given that

    (1)y=2x+6

    (2)6x+12=3y

    Step 1: Plug (1) into (2)

    (3)6x+12=3y=3(2x+6)

    Step 2: Simplify (3)

    6x+12=6x+18

    =>12=8

    Step 3: Notice that we have come to an impossible conclusion, so there’s no solution of x and y that will make 12 equal to 8.
