Without knowing the context some times the point the author is trying to get across can be viewed in different ways.

Given the system of linear equations. Choose all of the options that could be used to solve the system using addition

myrzilka [38]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The only operations that could be used to solve the system using addition are the first and the third operation.

To solve the problem, we need to check and discard each of the given option to see if the operations works to solve the system using addition, so, trying the given options.

The system of equation is:

$x+y=7\\12x+y=5$

We can see that the only way to solve the system using addition, is multiplying the first or the second equation by -1, so, we can eliminate the variable "y", let's prove that:

- First operation: Multiplying<u> the first equation</u> by -1 and add the equations together,

$x+y=7\\12x+y=5$

$x*(-1)+y*(-1)=7*(-1)\\12x+y=5$

$-x+-y=-7\\12x+y=5$

Adding the equations, we have:

$12x-x+y-y=5-7$

$11x+=5-7$

$11x+=-2$

$x=-\frac{2}{11}$

We can see that we can solve the problem using the first operation the operation.

- Third operation: Multiplying <u>the second equation</u> by -1 and add the equations together,

$x+y=7\\12x+y=5$

$x+y=7\\12x*(-1)+y*(-1)=5*(-1)$

$x+y=7\\-12x+-y=-5$

Adding the equations we have:

$-12x+x+y-y=-5+7$

$-11x=2$

$x=-\frac{2}{11}$

We can see that we can solve the problem using the third operation.

Also, we can see that in both equations the variable "y" has the same coefficient, the only operations that could work to solve the system using addition are the first and the third operation.

Have a nice day!

7.) Incorrect. (Philanthropy means the desire of supporting others, mostly financially.) And so the answer is A(Support of a charity)

8.) Incorrect. (Xenophobia is intense fear or paranoia of people from other countries.) So the answer would be C(Critic)

9.) Incorrect. ( Amity means a certain friendship) So the answer is D(appeasement).
