What should be done to these equations in order to solve a system of equations by elimination?
-3x+2y=16
2x+5y=21

A. Nothing needs to be done, since they both equal have 2’s and 3’s for coefficients.
B. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equations by 2.
C. Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3.
D. Multiply the first equation by 3.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

I did the test and got it right. :)

The correct is C = Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3.

What is system of equations by elimination?

The elimination method exists utilized to solve a system of linear equations. It is the most widely used and simple method as it concerns fewer calculations and steps. In this manner, we eliminate one of the two variables and test to solve equations with one variable.

if we'll multiply the first equation by 2 and second by 3 we will be able to solve the equation by elimination.

(-3x+2y=16) X 2 = -6x + 4y = 32

(2x+5y=21) X 3 = 6x + 15y = 63

the coeffients of x gets cancelled out on adding the new equations

4y+ 15y = 32+ 63

19y = 95

y= 95/19
