Given the system of equations presented here:
4x + y = 4
2x + 7y = 28
Which of the following actions creates an equivalent system such that, when combined with the other equation, one of the variables is eliminated? (5 points)
Multiply the second equation by βˆ’1 to get βˆ’2x βˆ’ 7y = βˆ’28
Multiply the second equation by βˆ’4 to get βˆ’8x βˆ’ 28y = βˆ’112
Multiply the first equation by βˆ’7 to get βˆ’28x βˆ’ 7y = βˆ’28
Multiply the first equation by βˆ’2 to get βˆ’8x βˆ’ 2y = βˆ’8

Respuesta :

Answer:

multiply the first equation by - 7 to get - 28x - 7y = - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

This then results on Β adding the 2 equations as

- 24x = 0 β‡’ x = 0 and y = 4

solution to system is (0, 4 )


Answer: multiply the first equatiom by -7 to get -28x -7y =-28

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + y = 4 ------------(1)

2x + 7y = 28 -----------(2)

multiply equation (1) by -7

-28x - 7y = -28 ---------(3)

add equation (2) and (3)

-24x = 0

Divide bothside by 24

x =0

substitute x= 0 in equation(1)

4x +y = 4

4(0) + y = 4

y = 4
