Souradeep17 · Answer

3x-2y=8
multiply by 2
6x-4y=16
multiplying by - in both side 
-(6x-4y)=-(16)
4y-6x=-16

Hence Option A

RDM42 · Answer

If 3x – 2y = 8, then 4y – 6x is

-(3x-2y)= -8 (Multiply by (-1) on both sides) 
2y-3x= -8 (Multiply by 2 on both sides) 
4y-6x= -16

A

PriyanshuR · Answer

3x – 2y = 8
Multiply both sides with -2
-2*(3x – 2y) = -2*8
=> -6y + 4y = -16
Rewrite it,
4y -6y = -16
Thus,  Option A
