Question

Please help pleaseee give first person to answer brainlest A system of equations is shown below: Equation A: 3c = d − 8 Equation B: c = 4d + 8 Which of the following steps should be performed to eliminate variable d first? A : Multiply equation A by −4. B : Multiply equation B by 3. C : Multiply equation A by 3. D : Multiply equation B by 4.

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiply the first equation by -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation A: 3c = d − 8

Equation B: c = 4d + 8

We want to eliminate variable d

Multiply the first equation by -4

-4( 3c = d − 8)

-12c = -4d +32

Add this to the second equation

-12c = -4d +32

c = 4d + 8

================

-11c = 0d + 40

Answer 2

Answer:

A : Multiply equation A by −4

Step-by-step explanation:

3c = d - 8

Multiply the equation by -4.

-12c = -4d + 32

-12c = -4d + 32

c = 4d + 8

Add equations.

-11c = 0d + 40

-11c = 40

The d variable is eliminated.
