6x + 2y = βˆ’6

3x βˆ’ 4y = βˆ’18

Select one:


a. 12x + 4y = βˆ’12

15x = βˆ’30

b. 8x + 4y = βˆ’4

14x = βˆ’10

c. 6x βˆ’ 8y = βˆ’36

βˆ’6y = βˆ’42

d. 6x βˆ’ y = βˆ’15

3y = 9

Answer:

Answer choice a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do part of the work of solving the given system:

6x + 2y = βˆ’6

3x βˆ’ 4y = βˆ’18

Multiply the first equation by 2 so as to make the coefficient of y = to 4:

12x + 4y = -12

Combine this result with the second equation:

12x + 4y = -12

3x βˆ’ 4y = βˆ’18

------------------------

Β 15x = -30

Note that these results are precisely the same as the equations in Answer Choice a.
