The three steps shown below were used to find an expression equivalent to 2/5 (15x- 30y) +10x

step 1: ?

step 2: 16x - 12y

step 3: 4(4x - 3y)

which expression could be used as step 1?

a) 2/5 (25x - 30y)
b)6x -12y +10x
c)6x - 30y +10x
d)15(x -2y) + 10x

Given the system of equations presented here: 2x + 4y = 14 4x + y = 20 which of the following actions creates an equivalent system such that, when combined with the other equation, one of the variables is eliminated? multiply the second equation by â’4 to get â’16x â’ 4y = â’80 multiply the second equation by â’1 to get â’4x â’ y = â’20 multiply the first equation by 2 to get 4x + 8y = 28 multiply the first equation by â’1 to get â’2x â’ 4y = â’14
