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.

It takes 18 hours to fill a pool using 8 garden hoses. How long would it take to fill the same pool using 9 garden hoses?
levacccp [35]
Use rates, so 8 garden hoses over 18 hours
then find the how many hours one garden house can fill up by doing this = 18/8 you divide the 8 for both sides which is about 2.25/1
so then you times 9 which is about 20/9 hoses
your answer is 20
