The correct Answer is:
To determine which system of equations has the solution \( x = 6 \) and \( y = -4 \), we will check both systems of equations one by one. ### System of Equations I: 1. **Equations:** \[ \frac{1}{2x} - \frac{1}{y} = -1 \] \[ \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{2y} = 8 \] 2. **Substituting \( x = 6 \) and \( y = -4 \):** - For the first equation: \[ \frac{1}{2(6)} - \frac{1}{-4} = -1 \] Simplifying: \[ \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{4} = -1 \] Finding a common denominator (12): \[ \frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = -1 \] \[ \frac{4}{12} = -1 \quad \text{(This is false)} \] - For the second equation: \[ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2(-4)} = 8 \] Simplifying: \[ \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{8} = 8 \] Finding a common denominator (24): \[ \frac{4}{24} - \frac{3}{24} = 8 \] \[ \frac{1}{24} = 8 \quad \text{(This is also false)} \] ### Conclusion for System I: Neither equation is satisfied, so this system does not have \( x = 6 \) and \( y = -4 \) as a solution. --- ### System of Equations II: 1. **Equations:** \[ \frac{2}{x} + \frac{2}{3y} = \frac{1}{6} \] \[ \frac{3}{x} + \frac{2}{y} = 0 \] 2. **Substituting \( x = 6 \) and \( y = -4 \):** - For the first equation: \[ \frac{2}{6} + \frac{2}{3(-4)} = \frac{1}{6} \] Simplifying: \[ \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \] Finding a common denominator (6): \[ \frac{2}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \] \[ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \quad \text{(This is true)} \] - For the second equation: \[ \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{-4} = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 0 \] \[ 0 = 0 \quad \text{(This is also true)} \] ### Conclusion for System II: Both equations are satisfied, so this system has \( x = 6 \) and \( y = -4 \) as a solution. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **II**. ---
