I think the answer may be the letter B
Answer:
-4×-2y=14 (1)
-10×+7y=-25 (2)
multiplying eq 1 by 7 and eq 2 by 2 and add eq. 1 and 2
-28×-14y=98
-20×+14y=-50
___________
-28×=48
×=48/-28
×=-12/7
now
-4×-2y=14
-4*-12/7-2y=14
48/7-2y=14
-2y=14-48/7
-2y=(98-48)/7
-2y=50/7
y=-50/14
y=-25/7
<u>Answer</u>
3 Ohms
<u>Explanation</u>
when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.
When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)
In this case the resistors are in parallel.
Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹
= (1/3)⁻¹
= 3 Ohms
