Explanation

From 9x - 3y = 12, divide by 3: 3x - y = 4. From 3x - 5y = 7. Solving these simultaneously: Subtract second from first: 4y = -3, so y = -3/4. Then 3x = 4 + y = 13/4, x = 13/12. Therefore 6x - 2y = 2(3x - y) = 2(4) = 8.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Multiply the given equation 2x-y=4 by 3 on both sides. This gives 6x-3y=12. When you multiply an entire equation by a constant, the equality still holds.

C Correct answer
Explanation

First calculate --y = -11 (pre-decrement), then x++ uses 5 (post-increment, x becomes 6 after). The expression --y * b / a = -11 * 2 / 4 = -22 / 4 = -5 (integer division). So z = 5 - (-5) = 10. Remember operator precedence: postfix ++ has highest precedence, then prefix --, then *, /, then +, -.
