Question

Which of the following equations is equivalent to 2/3 x - 1/2 y = 6? 2x - y = 6 2x - y = 36 4x - 3y = 36

Answer 1

Answer: THE LAST OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following equation given in the problem:

$\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{2}y=6$

2. If you multiply both sides of the equation shown above by 6, you obtain the following:

$\frac{2*6}{3}x-\frac{1*6}{2}y=6*6$

$\frac{12}{3}x-\frac{6}{2}y=36$

3. When you simplify the equation, you obtain the following equivalent equation:

$4x-3y=36$
