What is the solution to this system of linear equations 3x - 2y =145x+y=32

3x - 2y = 14

5x + y = 32

Since you have -2y in the first equation and y in the second equation, multiply the second equation by 2, so you can add the equations and eliminate y.

3x - 2y = 14

10x + 2y = 64

Add the equations.

13x = 78

x = 6

Now let x = 6 in the first equation, and solve for y.

3x - 2y = 14

3(6) -2y = 14

18 - 2y = 14

-2y = -4

y = 4

Solution: x = 6 and y = 2

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
