16, 3x + 2y = 8 5x+ 2y = 12 What is the solution of the system of equations shown above? A(-2,7) B. (2,1) C.4/3,2
D
2,4

The solution of the system of the equations is (2, 1) ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the system of equations

∵ 3x + 2y = 8 ⇒ (1)

∵ 5x + 2y = 12 ⇒ (2)

→ Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

∴ (5x - 3x) + (2y - 2y) = (12 - 8)

∴ 2x + 0 = 4

∴ 2x = 4

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 2

→ Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∵ 3(2) + 2y = 8

∴ 6 + 2y = 8

→ Subtract 6 from both sides

∵ 6 - 6 + 2y = 8 - 6

∴ 2y = 2

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find y

∴ y = 1

∴ The solution of the system of the equations is (2, 1)

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.

won't that be plagrisim thought?
