Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to eliminate x from the given system of equations by solving

-6x -4y=2

-4x-7y=2

We can do this by subtracting 3 times the second equation from 2 times the first equation we get

-12x -8y = 2

12x +21y =- 2

Sign of second equation changed because it is getting  subtracted

Since, we got same quantity of x with opposite signs

Hence, it will get cancelled and so eliminated.

Therefore, Option A is correct.

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 376 hamburger and cheeseburgers inn monday. There were 74 fewer cheeseburgers do
makkiz [27]
Hey there!
We can show this in the following equation: 
2n - 74 = 376 

The variable n represents the number of hamburgers sold. 
Subtracting 74 shows that the number of cheeseburgers is 74 less than the number of hamburgers. 

Let's solve for n. 

First, add 74 to each side of the equation: 
2n = 450 

Then, divide each side of the equation by 2:
n = 225 

Next, we can check the solution. 

225 hamburgers + (225 - 74) cheeseburgers = 225 + 151 = 376 burgers total

There were 225 hamburgers sold on Monday. 

Hope this helps!
