Given the following system of equations: 2x + 6y = 12 4x + 3y = 15 Which action creates an equivalent system that will eliminate

one variable when they are combined? Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −8x − 6y = −30. Multiply the first equation by 2 to get 4x + 12y = 24. Multiply the second equation by −4 to get −16x − 12y = −60. Multiply the first equation by −4 to get −8x − 24y = −48.

Option A and B are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following systems of equation:

2x + 6y = 12 \\4x + 3y = 15

We need to identify the action creates an equivalent system that will eliminate one variable when they are combined.

Checking the options:

a) Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −8x − 6y = −30

If we add equation(1) and the new equation(2) the variable y will be eliminated. So, this is the correct option.

b)  Multiply the first equation by 2 to get 4x + 12y = 24.

If we subtract new equation(1) and equation(2), the variable x will be eliminated. So, this is the correct option.

c) Multiply the second equation by −4 to get −16x − 12y = −60

By adding or subtracting, none of the variable is eliminated. So, it is not the correct option.

d) Multiply the first equation by −4 to get −8x − 24y = −48.

By adding or subtracting, none of the variable is eliminated. So, it is not the correct option.

So, Option A and B are correct.

Answer:

Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −8x − 6y = −30.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

----> first equation

----> second equation

Solve by elimination

Multiply the second equation by -2 both sides

---> equivalent second equation

Adds first equation and the equivalent second equation

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in any of the equation

the solution of the system is the point (3,1)

What is the volume of a cylinder in a cubic cm,with a height of 8cm and a base diameter of 14 cm?round to the nearest tenth plac
bija089 [108]

Answer:

volume of cylinder = 1232cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question

volume of cylinder =?

height of the cylinder = 8cm

Base diameter of the cylinder = 14cm

to solve this problem we need to know the formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder

volume of cylinder = πr²h

                   or

volume of cylinder = π(d/2)²h........................... if we are given diameter and not radius.

D= 14cm

d = 14/2

d = 7cm

now,

volume of cylinder = π × (7)² × 8

volume of cylinder = 22/7 ×49 ×8

volume of cylinder = 22 × 7 × 8

volume of cylinder = 1232cm³

therefor the volume of the cylinder is equals to 1232cm³
