Answer:

C. SUBTRACT (2x) from both sides in the bottom equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - 6y = -12

2x + y = 12

Required

The first step of a substitution method

In the second equation, notice that the coefficient of y is 1.

So, the first step is to make y the subject of the formula.

This is achieved by subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation.

2x + y = 12

2x - 2x + y = 12 - 2x

y = 12 - 2x

<em>Hence: (c) is true</em>

Delete the ribbon is 3/4 meter Sunday needs pieces measuring 1/3 meter for in our project what is the greatest number of pieces
Bogdan [553]

Answer:the greatest number of pieces that can be cut is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of ribbon available is 3/4 meter. Sunday needs pieces measuring 1/3 meter for their project. This means that each length needed would be exactly 1/3 meter.

The number of pieces measuring 1/3 meter that can be cut from the ribbon would be

(3/4)/(1/3) = 3/4×3/1 = 9/4 = 2.25

Since the length needed is exactly 1/3 meter, the greatest number of pieces that can be cut will be 2
