Using the substitution method, Vito is solving the following system of equations algebraically: y + 3x =-4
2x – 3y =-21
Which equivalent equation could Vito use?
A) 2(-3x - 4) + 3x =- 21
B) 2(3x - 4) + 3x =- 21
C) 2x - 3(-3x – 4) =- 21
D) 2x - 3(3x - 4) =- 21

The correct answer is Option C:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are:

The equations have to be solved using substitution method. In substitution method we find the value of a variable from one equation and put it in the other equation.

To find the value, we usually choose the equation in which a variable without any coefficient is available.

From equation 1

This value of y will be put in equation 2

It is the C option in choices

Hence,

The correct answer is Option C:

take the top number and divide it by a the bottom number

step-by-step explanation:

1/2 1 divied by 2 = .5
