hartnn (hartnn):

where is the system ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, this is the question

hartnn (hartnn):

you'll have to check each and every option. like 1st option : add 1st equation in sys1 (4x-5y=2) to 2 times 2nd equation 2(3x-y=8) see if you get 3x-8y =4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THe ans is choice B...system 2 and system 3..!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @zaibali.qasmi :), but i kinda wanted 2 work out the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the first option I got 11x - 11y = 12. So that's wrong, right?

hartnn (hartnn):

good. now go for 2nd option

hartnn (hartnn):

bdw, (4x-5y=2)+ 2(3x-y=8) 4x+6x -5y -2y =2+16 10x -7y = 18 which is not 3x-8y = 4 hence its not 1st option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so for option 2, I added 4x-5y = 2 twice into 3x-8y=4 and got 11x-18y=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that isn't right?

hartnn (hartnn):

1st equation in sys 2 is 4x-5y =2 2 times 2nd equation in sys 2 is 2 (3x-8y= 4) adding them \((4x-5y=2) + (6x-16y=8)\) do you get that as 10x -21y =10 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

how did you get 11x-18y=8 if you show your work, i will help you spot the error :) or try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oooh, I get it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought I was supposed 2 add the first equation twice, not multiply the second equation by 2 XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :) <3

welcome ^_^
