Question

To eliminate the y terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, by which constants should the equations be multiplied?

First equation: 4x − 3y = 34

Second equation: 3x + 2y = 17


The first equation should be multiplied by 2 and the second equation by 3.

The first equation should be multiplied by 2 and the second equation by −3.

The first equation should be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 4.

The first equation should be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by −4.

Answer 1

A is the correct answer

Answer 2

Thanks! Do you think you can help me with another?

Answer 3

yeah i can suppose to.

Answer 4

Thanks! :>

To eliminate the x-terms and solve for y in the fewest steps, by which constants should the equations be multiplied?

First equation: 6x − 5y = 17

Second equation: 7x + 3y = 11


The first equation should be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by −5.

The first equation should be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 5.

The first equation should be multiplied by 7 and the second equation by −6.

The first equation should be multiplied by 7 and the second equation by 6.

I originally said D... but I'm not really sure.

Answer 5

B is the correct answer.
