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.

-4d + 2(3 + d) = -14<br><br> Please help
soldi70 [24.7K]
-4d + 2(3+d)= -14
distribute the 2(3+d)
-4d + 6+ 2d= -14
Combine the like terms
-4d + 2d + 6= -14
-2d + 6 = -14
subtract 6 to -14 
-2d = -20
divide by -2
d= -20/-2
d= 10
Check your answer 
-4(10) + 2(3+ 10) = -14
-40 + 6 + 20
-40 + 26= -14
