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 plumber has a set fee for a house call and charges by the hour for repairs. The total cost of her services can be modeled by c
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1, 2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t -----> the number of hours the job takes

C(t) -----> the total cost for the service

we have

C(t)=125t+95

This is the equation of a line in slope intercept form

where

The slope m is equal to m=125\ \frac{\$}{h}

The y-intercept is the point (0,95) ---> The cost is $95 for the value of t equal zero (fee)

therefore

<u><em>The statements that are true</em></u>

1 a house call fee costs $95

2 the plumber charges $125 per hour

3 the number of hours the job takes is represented by t
