Answer

You can multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 3.

You can multiply the first equation by 4/3.

You can multiply the first equation by 3.

Explanation

When solving a system of equations by elimination, you want to add or subtract the equations to "get rid" of a variable.

To do that, one of the variables in both equations have to have the same coefficient.

The first answer possible gives x the coefficient of 12 for both equations. You would get 12x+4y=52 and 12x-9y=39. You could subtract those equations to get 13y=13.

The second way gives x the coefficient of 4. You would multiply the first equation by 4/3 to get 4x+4/3y=52/3. You can subtract to get one variable, and then solve from there. Although, multiplying for 4/3 is annoying, so it's not suggested.

You can also "get rid" the the y. Multiply the first equation by 3 to get 9x+3y=39. You can add these equations. When you add 9x+3y=39 and 4x-3y=13 you get 13x=52.

Split the figure into 2 different shapes. We’re gonna split it where the 19 line is. So now you have sort of a square and a rectangle. You need to find the area of each. If the line in bottom is 35 and the rectangle top line is 19, just subtract 19 from 35 and you get the bottom line of your square. Same for the 25 on the left of the whole figure. Do the same with figure band divide where the 7 line is. Find the area of each
