The correct option is B.

What is the elimination method?

The elimination method is one of the techniques to solve the system of linear equations.

Given

The system of equations is;

[tex]\rm 4x+2y=66\\\\x-4y=-12[/tex]

Solving the equation by using the elimination method.

Multiply equation 1 by 4

[tex]\rm 4x+2y=6\\\\ 16x+8y=24[/tex]

Multiply equation 2 by 2

[tex]\rm 6x-4y=-12\\\\12x-8y=-24[/tex]

Adding both the equations

[tex]\rm 16x+8y+12x-8y=24-24\\\\ 28x=0\\\\x=0[/tex]

Substitute the value of x in equation 1

[tex]\rm 4x+2y=6\\\\4(0)+2y=6\\\\2y=6\\\\y=\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\y=3[/tex]

Hence, The solution is (0, 3).
