x = 0
3x - 2y = 6
3(0) - 2y = 6
0 - 2y = 6
- 2y / - 2 = 6 / - 2
y = 6 / - 2
y = - 3
- - - - - -
When x = 0 , y = - 3
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
y = 0
3x - 2y = 6
3x - 2(0) = 6
3x - 0 = 6
3x = 6
3x / 3 = 6 / 3
x = 6 / 3
x = 2
- - - - - - - -
When y = 0 . x = 2

A) 3(0) - 2(-3) = 6.

A, because 3*0 - 2*(-3) = 6.

the answer is: A. because u have to plug in the ordered pairs 3(0)-2(-3)=6

A.
3(0) - 2(-3) = 6. The x cancels out itself because it's multiplied by 0. So, what's left is -2(-3) which equals 6.
B doesn't work because it gives us: -6 since the y is not negative.
C doesn't work because it gives us: -6 again. If it was 2 not -2, then that would be correct.
D doesn't work because it gives us: 0. The x and the y subtracts each other out.

A ) (0, -3) is the solution for the equation, since
3(0) - 2(-3) = 0 + 6=6
If you were to plug in the other values, you would realize they did not work.
Hope this helps!
