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)

A(n) = a₁.(r)ⁿ⁻¹, where a₁ = 1st term, r= common ratio and n, the rank

In the formula given a₁ = 5, r = 3/2 and n = 6 (we have to find the 6th term value).

a₆ = 5.(3/2)⁶⁻¹ = 5.(3/2)⁵ = 1215/32 (answer C)

a car can travel 476 miles on 14 gallons of gas. Write an equation relating the distance d to the number of gallon g. How many g
ch4aika [34]

miles per gallon (x) = d/g

x = 476/14 = x = 34 miles per gallon

so d/x = g

578/34 = 17 gallons are needed

Rico and his friend eat some lasagna. Rico eats 1/9 of lasagna, and his friend eats 1/18 of the lasagna. How much of the lasagna
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

\frac{5}{6} of the lasagna is left

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

Amount of lasagna Rico eats = 1/9

Amount of lasagna His friend eats = 1/18

To Find:

The amount  lasagna is left =?

Solution:

Total lasagna ate by both Rico and his friend = Amount of lasagna Rico eats +  Amount of lasagna His friend eats

Total lasagna ate by both Rico and his friend = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{18}

Total lasagna ate by both Rico and his friend = \frac{2}{19} + \frac{1}{18}

Total lasagna ate by both Rico and his friend = \frac{3}{18}

Total lasagna ate by both Rico and his friend = \frac{1}{6}

The amount  lasagna is left = 1 - Total lasagna ate by both Rico and his friend.

The amount  lasagna is left = 1 - \frac{1}{6}

The amount  lasagna is left =\frac{6-1}{6}

The amount  lasagna is left =\frac{5}{6}
