Answer:

Yumiko should multiply the other equation by 3.

If she adds the two equations she would be left with the variable 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two equations are as follows:

$ 2x - 3y = 12 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (1) $

$ 5x + 6y = 18 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (2) $

It is given that she multiplies the first equation by 6. Therefore, (1) becomes

$ 12x - 18y = 72 \hspace{15mm} \hdots (a) $

Now, note that the sign of the variable 'y' is negative. So, if we make the co-effecient of 'y' equal in both the cases, add them it would result in the elimination of the variable 'y'.

The co-effecient of y in Equation (2) is 6. To make it 18 like it is in Equation (1), we multiply throughout by 3.

Therefore, Equation (2) becomes:

$ 15x + 18y = 54 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (b) $

Now, we add Equation (a) and Equation (b).

$ \implies 12x - 18y + 15x + 18y = 72 + 54 $

$ \implies 27x = 126 $

Factor: 3

Equation: 27x = 126

Elio makes candles that are 14 cm tall. Each candle burns 8 hours before going out. He is wondering how many hours a 21 cm tall
MAXImum [283]
Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.

Find the unit rate

14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h

Divide

21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.

If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.

Hope this helped you! :)

Which unit of measurement would be appropriate for the volume of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters
Semenov [28]
The volume of a sphere is found with the following formula:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

The radius is raised to a power of 3. Since the radius is 2 <em>meters</em>, this means that the volume would be measured in cubic meters.
