solve by elimination method.

2x+3y=4
4x+6y=8

is the answer -3/2y+2

they want it as an ordered pair

No. Your two equations are not independent. The graph of each is the same line, and they therefore do not intesect at a unique (x,y) value.

In addition, the answer you have written is not an ordered pair.

To solve the given system of equations using the elimination method, follow these steps:

1. Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 1 to make the coefficients of x in both equations the same:
Equation 1: 2(2x + 3y) = 2(4) -> 4x + 6y = 8
Equation 2: 1(4x + 6y) = 1(8) -> 4x + 6y = 8

2. Now, we can see that the two equations are the same. This means that every (x, y) pair that satisfies one equation will also satisfy the other equation.
In other words, there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations.

Therefore, we cannot find a unique solution in the form of an ordered pair. Instead, we can express the solution as a ratio or in terms of a single variable. In this case, we can express the solution in terms of y as -3/2y + 2.
