Question

Consider the following system of equations.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. When the equations -10x + 5y = -60 and -3x − 5y = -5 are added together, a third linear equation, -13x = -65, is formed, and it shares a common solution with the original equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=12

-3x-5y=-5

multiply the first equation by -5

-10x +5y = -60

add the 2 equations together

-3x-5y=-5

-10x +5y = -60

-------------------------

-13x = -65

We use the addition property of equality which says adding the same thing to both sides, doesn't change the equation, so we will get the same answer as the original equation
