ANSWER

The correct answer is option B

EXPLANATION


The equations are

3x+5y=29---(1)


and


x+4y=16---(2)


When we multiply the second equation by -3, we obtain;


-3x-12y=-48---(3)


When we combine this new equation with equation (1).


-7y=-19


We can see that x has been eliminated from the equation.


We can then, solve for  y and then substitute the result in to any of the equations to find x.


Hence the correct answer is option B

<u>Answer:</u>

B) Multiply the second equation by −3 to get −3x − 12y = −48

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given two equations:

3x+5y= 29 --- (i)

x+4y = 16 --- (ii)

If we multiply the second equation by -3, we get:

-3(x+4y) = 16

-3x-12y=-48 --- (iii)

Combining equation (i) and (iii) to get:

3x+5y-3x-12y=29-48

3x and -3x cancel each other so x is eliminated and we are left with:

-7y= -19

Therefore, the correct answer option is B) Multiply the second equation by −3 to get −3x − 12y = −48.

Four times one number minus three times another number is 12. Two times the first number added to three times to the second numb
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number, y = second number

4x - 3y = 12

2x + 3y = 6

------------------add

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

4x - 3y = 12

4(3) - 3y = 12

12 - 3y = 12

-3y = 12 - 12

-3y = 0

y = 0

solution : (3,0)

Mkey [24]
3/4 is equivalent to 9/12 because when we simplify 9/12 we get 
3/4 
or
if we multiply 3/4 by 4 we will get 9/12
