In order to solve the following system of equations by subtraction, which of
the following could you do before subtracting the equations so that one
variable will be eliminated when you subtract them?
4x – 2y = 7
3x – 3y=15
A. Multiply the top equation by 1/3

B. Multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 4.

C. Multiply the top equation by-3 and the bottom equation by 2.

D. Multiply the top equation by 15 and the bottom equation by 7.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

B produces the term 12x that cancels out after subtraction.

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
