The right answer is Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are;

2x+4y=3    Eqn 1

x+3y=13    Eqn 2

When we use subtraction-addition method, we make one of the variables same with opposite signs so that only one variable remains after addition or subtraction.

In the given problem, we will multiply Eqn 2 with "-2" so that the x variables become equal and then we can add both the equations and solve for y.

Therefore,

The first step will be to multiply the second equation by -2 to solve the linear system of equations.

The right answer is Option D.

Subtract [4 -4 -2] - [4 -3 5]
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

For matrix subtraction, you subtract the corresponding cell of the second matrix from the first. So, looking at the first spot, you have 4 (from the first matrix) - 4 (from the second matrix) = 0 (the first number in the output matrix). Continuing that for the next spot, -4 - -3 = -4 + 3 = -1. Finally, -2 - 5 = -7. This means your answer is [0 -1 -7].
