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

At Thanksgiving, Mrs. Jones overcooked the turkey so all but 5 of it had to be thrown away. The 8 people at dinner that
VashaNatasha [74]

<em>The question has inconsistent or incomplete data, so I'm filling the holes with key data.</em>

Answer:

<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows

* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M

* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)

I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.

Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey
