Select the choice below that could be the first step in solving the following system of equations using elimination: -4x − 10y = 3 3y − 3x − 7 = 0 a. Multiply the first equation by -4 and the second equation by 3 b. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 10 c. Replace the right side of the first equation with the second equation d. Write the second equation in terms of x
The first thing you would do would be to B
because of the -10y and 3y
would the answer be a?
no i think its B because When you multiply the y's they cancel out
-30y 30y
so B
thanks.
can u help with this one too? Select the choice below that could be the first step in solving the following system of equations using substitution: 8x + 2y = 11 5y − x + 12 = 0 Multiply the first equation by -4 Multiply the second equation by 2 Write the second equation in terms of x Replace the right side of the first equation with the second equation
i can try
a. Multiply the first equation by -4 b. Multiply the second equation by 2 c. Write the second equation in terms of x d. Replace the right side of the first equation with the second equation
i think its c
ya its c because the next step would be to make to other one = to x
any thing else?
thank yu and yeaa one more question
ok
Two numbers have a sum of 125. Their difference is 29. Find the larger number. 48 55 77 83
