Answer:
The whole number 2 is the number of whole apples each person gets. The numerator 1 is the number of pieces of the remaining apple each person gets; the denominator 3 is the number of pieces the remaining apple is cut into.
Bill should put the brackets around 18-9 so the correct answer is option B. 10- 4 +3 x (18-9)
<u>Option C is correct </u><u>(y + z = 6) ⋅ −3</u>
What is a linear equation in math?
- A linear equation only has one or two variables.
- No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
- When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.
As per the statement -
A student is trying to solve the system of two equations given below:
Equation P: y + z = 6 ....[1]
Equation Q: 3y + 4z = 1 ....[2]
Multiply the equation [1] by -3 to both sides we have;
-3 .( y + z = 6 ) ⇒ -3y -3z = -18..........(3)
Add equation [2] and [3] to eliminate the y-term;
z = -17
Therefore, the possible step used in eliminating the y-term is, (y + z = 6) ⋅ −3

(y + z = 6) ⋅ 4
(3y + 4z = 1) ⋅ 4
(y + z = 6) ⋅ −3
(3y + 4z = 1) ⋅ 3
