2x + y = 3 x - 2y = -1 if equation two is multiplied by -2 and then the equations are added, the result is -3y = 3 3y = 5 5y = 5

5y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations

2x + y = 3      (i)

x - 2y = -1    (ii)

Multiplying equation (ii) by -2

Both sides of equation will be multiplies by -2.

-2(x-2y)= -2(-1)

The new equation will be

-2x+4y=2  => (iii)

Adding equation (iii)  with equation (i), adding respective sides of both equations

(2x+y)+(-2x+4y)=3+2

2x+y-2x+4y=5

5y=5

So, after multiplying equation (ii) by -2 and then adding it to the first equation will give 5y=5

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
