Which statement correctly explains how ladies could find a solution to solution to the following system of linear equations using elimination?

Given:

The system of equations is:

To find:

The correct statement that explains the solution process.

Solution:

We have,

To eliminate the variable g, we need same coefficients of g having opposite signs.

The coefficient of g in first equation is -4 and the coefficient of g in bottom equation is -1. If we multiply the bottom equation by -4, then we get 4 as a coefficient of g.

              [(i)×(-4)]

After that we can add both equation to eliminate the variable g and then we can solve to h.

She can multiply the bottom equation by -4 and then add the equations to solve for h.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
