Choose the equivalent system of linear equations that will produce the same solution as the one given below. 6x + 2y = -6 3x - 4y = -18 (1 point) A.)12x + 4y = -12 15x = -30 B.)8x + 4y = -4 14x = -10 C.)6x - 8y = -36 -6y = -42 D.)6x - y = -15 3y = 9

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Well... we have to solve the first system of equations given before the choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok So as in solve you mean...??

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

So what does y equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y =3

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Correct, Now you must substitute (3) for y in x = -1/3y - 1

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Let me know what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3??

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Close.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Where did you get -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait would it be -2

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Now try.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Wait yes!

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

There you go!

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Now we have to solve the others.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Let us solve A

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

What does x = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Correct, Now you must substitute (-2) for x in 12x + 4y = -12

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Let me know what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Nice good, i agree, does that match with our system of solutions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

So then that makes what your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.)

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

I agree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks so much

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Sure thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o ok

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Actually just stick with A, I am not to sure on A or D

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Unless your gut says otherwise.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Sorry if you get it wrong, i just forgot how to determine if it is linear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Sure thing.
