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)

Find the 12th term of the following geometric sequence.<br> 10, 30, 90, 270,
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

<h3>The 12th term is 1771470</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the above sequence is a geometric sequence

An nth term of a geometric sequence is given by

A(n) = a(r)^{n - 1}

where a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

From the question

a = 10

To find the common ratio divide the previous term by the next term

That's

r = 30/10 = 3 or 90/30 = 3 or 270/90 = 3

Since we are finding the 12th term

n = 12

So the 12th term is

A(12) = 10( {3})^{12 - 1}

A(12) = 10 ({3})^{11}

<h3>A(12) = 1771470</h3>

Hope this helps you
