Select the best possible first step to solving the system by first eliminating the y variable. 4x − 5y = 4 3x 2y = −20 (1 point) multiply the first equation by −2, and multiply the second equation by 5. multiply the first equation by 2, and multiply the second equation by −5. multiply the first equation by 2, and multiply the second equation by 5. none of the above

C) Multiply the first equation by 2, and multiply the second equation by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are :

4x − 5y = 4

and

3x+2y = −20

Now we need to select the best possible first step to solving the system by first eliminating the y variable. Where given choices of the possible steps are:

A) Multiply the first equation by −2, and multiply the second equation by 5.

B) Multiply the first equation by 2, and multiply the second equation by −5.

C) Multiply the first equation by 2, and multiply the second equation by 5.

D) None of the above

Since we need to eliminate y, then we must make coefficients of y equal in both equations. Easiest way is to multiply coefficient of first equation into 2nd equation and multiply coefficient of y from 2nd equation into first equation. Make sure that their sign is oppsite.

Hence correct choice is C)Multiply the first equation by 2, and multiply the second equation by 5.

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
