Someone please help
Choose the equivalent system of linear equations that will produce the same solution as the one given below. 6x + 2y = -6 3x - 4y = -18 12x + 4y = -12 15x = -30 8x + 4y = -4 14x = -10 6x - 8y = -36 -6y = -42 6x - y = -15 3y = 9
I'd ... get "x" and "y" values from the given one, and test against the choices provided
I dont know how to
if you look at the 2nd equation for every pairs of equations 15x = -30 14x = -10 -6y = -42 3y = 9 you can solve for the x or y, and sub it back into the equation about to solve for the otehr x or y
or working with your 2 equations given 6x + 2y = -6 3x - 4y = -18 you can multiply the 2nd equation by -2 and add both of the equations 6x+2y=-6 eqn(1) -2(3x-4y=-18) eqn(2) 6x+2y=-6 eqn (1) -6x+8y=+36 eqn (2) if you add both equations 6x+2y=-6 10y=30 <-------- this is a result of adding equation (1) and (2)
so its b?
try multiplying the 1st equation by 2 this time and add it to the bottom one see what u get 6x + 2y = -6 3x - 4y = -18
yeah it is b
