Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Rules:
odd x odd = odd
even x even = even
even x odd = even
even + even = even
odd + odd = even
odd + even = odd
We can determine whether 2a + 3b is odd if we have both statements because we know that a is odd and 2 is even, which means their product will be even. 3 is odd and b is odd, so their product will be odd. The sum of the even and odd will be odd.
If we have just the second statement we can determine the answer because anything multiplied by 2 is even.
So whether or not we know if a is odd, we know that 2a is even because 2 doubles everything which means it's divisible by 2 which means it's even.
However, statement 1 alone is not enough because if a is odd, then 2a is even. However, 3b can be even or odd depending on b. If b is odd, then 3b is odd. if b is even, 3b is even.
Therefore, if you have statement 2 you can answer the question but if you only have statement 1 then you also need statement 2
There is only one answer to this equation. h=3/4
Well using elimination is easy because they basically did it for you.
4x-5y=-6
2x+5y=12
The postive 5y and negative 5y cancel out because -5y plus 5y is zero.
so you are left with
4x=-6
2x=12
Add these together
6x=18
divide both sides by 6 and Solve to find your x
x=3
Now we have to eliminate x to find y.
we multiply the second equation by -2 so it can cancel out so
(2x+5y=12)-2
-4x-10y=24
Add the equations together
4x-5y=-6
-4x-10y=24
You are left with -15y = 30
Solve for y
y = -2
So your final answer for the elimination would be
(3,-2)
