Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations? 2x- 6y=6

6x - 4y = 2

Choose all answers that apply: more than 1

Multiply the bottom equation by 3 then subtract the bottom equation from the top equation

Multiply the bottom equation by -3/2 then add the equations.

Multiply the top equation by-3. then add the equations

Multiply the bottom equation by -3/2 then add the equations.

Multiply the top equation by-3. then add the equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation

2x- 6y=6  ... 1

6x - 4y = 2 ... 2

To eliminate a variable, we have to make the coefficient of one of the variable to be the same.

Multiply equastion 1 by -3

-6x+18y= -18  

6x - 4y = 2

Add the result:

-6x + 6x + 18y-4y = -18+2

18y-4y = -18+2

14y = -18

y = -9/7

Another way is to Multiply the bottom equation by -3/2 then add the equations.

Multiplying equation 2 by -3/2 will give;

6x(-3/2) - 4y(-3/2) = 2(-3/2)

-9x + 6y = -3

Add to equation 1;

2x- 6y=6

-9x + 2x + 0 = -3+6

-7x = 3

x = -3/7

Hence the correct two options are;

Multiply the bottom equation by -3/2 then add the equations.

Multiply the top equation by-3. then add the equations

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
