The system of equations are:

2x − 4y = 6
−3x + 3y = 9

To eliminate x, you should:
1. multiply first equation with 3
2. multiply second equation with 2
3. add the new equations you got

So your answer is A.

Answer:

A)  add 2 times the second equation to 3 times the first equation

Step-by-step explanation:

add 2 times the second equation to 3 times the first equation

3(2x − 4y = 6)

2(−3x + 3y = 12)

6x − 12y = 18

−6x + 6y = 24

Adding the second equation to the first equation gives:

−6y = 42

y =  

42

−6

y = −7

Frequency (y) varies inversely with wavelength (x). Find the frequency (measured in THz ) of blue light if its k value is 175,72
horsena [70]

We have been that frequency (y) varies inversely with wavelength (x).

We know that two inversely proportional quantities are in form a=\frac{k}{b}, where a is inversely proportional to b and k is constant of variation.

Our required equation would be y=\frac{k}{x}.

To find frequency of blue light, we will substitute k=175,720 and x=230 in our equation as:

y=\frac{175,720}{230}

y=764

Therefore, the frequency of blue light is 764.
