256 are needed because 32x1=32 that means the ratio would be 32:256 because 8 x 32 = 256
The final ratio would stay the same as 1:8 though because it would be simplified.
Hope this helped.
Hey there!
First, multiply the second equation by -2 as the problem states. When you multiply the second equation by -2, you get:
-2x+4y=2
Now, add this equation to the first equation in which you simply combine like terms:
2x+y=3
+
-2x+4y=2
=
5y= 5
In conclusion, the correct answer would be the first choice.
