How can you get coefficients that are equal for x?
12x+6y=13 4x+6y=12

anonymous · Answer

Is the question to solve for x?

texaschic101 · Answer

I think that is what it is basically saying...solving for x

anonymous · Answer

no just asking How can you get coefficients that are equal for x?	
	12x+6y=13    4x+6y=12
                                  A.	Multiply both sides of the bottom equation by 2
 		B.	Divide both sides of the bottom equation by 3
 		C.	Divide both sides of the bottom equation by 2
 		D.	Multiply both sides of the bottom equation by 3

I would multiply either equation by -1, then use elimination

None of your answer choices make much sense

D

texaschic101 · Answer

multiply by 3
12x + 18y = 36......I don't understand what that will do

loser66 · Answer

hey, what is the question? " make it the same coefficient for x ". that's it. they don't ask you  to solve . they don't ask you whether it makes sense or not, they just want to know by how you make 2 equations has the same coefficient of x. THAT' S IT.
