Answer:

Subtract the first equation from the second equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the first equation from the second equation.

If we do so, 'x' will be eliminated and we will get the value of y

3x + 4y = 12 --------------(I)

3x = 2y - 8 -------------(II)

3x + 4y - 3x = 12 - (2y - 8)

3x - 3x +4y = 12 -2y +8

             4y = 12 + 8 - 2y

      4y +2y = 20

           6y = 20

             y = 20/6

             y = 10/3
