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.

Just plug in the variables so you would have -(-3) - 4^2 / 4(-3) - (5-4). Next you solve it for 3 - 16 / -12 - 1, -13/-13 = 1. Your final answer is 1. If this is right could you possibly give me brainliest? Hope this helped.

Seriously someone help me i answered it but i don’t know if it is right so please tell me if it is and how i got the answer or p

Answer:

<h2>C</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine a function rule, look at the table. Input the x and y value from one column into the function to see if it is correct.

<h3>Function a: y = 10 - 2x</h3>

Input values

22 = 10 - 2(6)

22 = 10 - 12

22 ≠ -2 ❌

As we can see, function a gives us a false statement, so a is incorrect.

<h3>Function b: y = 2 - 10x</h3>

Input values

22 = 2 - 10(6)

22 = 2 - 60

22 ≠ -58 ❌

We once again get a false answer, so b is also not correct.

<h3>Function c: y = 10 + 2x</h3>

Input values

22 = 10 + 2(6)

22 = 22 ✔

Finally, we get a true statement, so option c is correct.

<h3>Function d: y = 2 + 10x</h3>

Just to check that option c is correct, we need to prove that d is incorrect.

Input values

22 = 2 + 60

22 ≠ 62 ❌

This is also wrong, so that proves that c is correct.

I'm always happy to help :)
