use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. explain each step of your solution.
3x-8y=7
x+2y=-7

Using linear combination method to solve the system of equations 3x - 8y = 7  and x + 2y = -7 is (x, y) = (-3, -2)

Given that, a system of equations are:

3x – 8y = 7 ⇒ (1) and x + 2y = - 7 ⇒ (2)

We have to solve the system of equations using linear combination method and find their solution.

Linear combination is the process of adding two algebraic equations so that one of the variables is eliminated. Addition or subtraction can be used to perform a linear combination.

Now, let us multiply equation (2) with 4 so that y coefficients will be equal numerically.

4x + 8y = -28 ⇒ (3)

Now, add (1) and (3)  

3x – 8y = 7  

4x + 8y = - 28  

7x + 0 = - 21  

7x = -21  

x = - 3  

Now, substitute "x" value in (2)

(2) ⇒ -3 + 2y = - 7  

2y = 3 – 7  

2y = - 4  

y = -2

Hence, the solution for the given two system of equations is (-3, -2)

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
