    1)7x+8y=4
    2)3x+2y=6
    they asked you for the pair which is (x,y)
    multiplying equation 2 by 4 we get
    3)12x+8y=24

    subtracting equation 1 from 2
    7x+ 8y=4
    (-) 12x+8y=24
    -------------------------
    -5x =-20
    dividng by -5 we get
    x = 4
    substituting the value of x in either of the 2 equations we get
    7x+8y=4-->7(4)+8y=4-->8y=-24--->y=-3
    3x+2y=6-->3(4)+2y=6-->12+2y=6-->2y=-6-->y=-3
    since we got the same values for y in the two equation are soultion is correct
    the pair is in form (x,y)--->(4,-3) which is D
