Answer:
B. Multiply each term in x - 12y = 2 by 4 and add it to the other original equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression are two linear equation and can be solved simultaneously
[tex]x - 12y = 2------------------1[/tex]
[tex]-4x + 7y = 12----------------------2[/tex]
1. we need to multiply each term in eqn 1 by 4 and add it to the other
original equation(2).
[tex]4x - 48y = 8----------------3\\-4x + 7y = 12---------------2\\\\[/tex]
Adding both 3 and 2 we have
[tex]4x - 48y = 8----------------3\\-4x + 7y = 12---------------2\\\\\\[/tex]
2. once we have gotten the value of y
we then substitute it in any of the equations to solve for x
