QuestionSelect the correct answer.
The elimination method is ideal for solving this system of equations. By which number must you multiply the second equation to eliminate the yy-variable, and what is the solution for this system? x+3y=422xy=14\begin{array}{l} x+3 y=42 \\ 2 x-y=14 \end{array} A. Multiply the second equation by -3 . The solution is x=12,y=9x=12, y=9. B. Multiply the second equation by -2 . The solution is x=12,y=10x=12, y=10. C. Multiply the second equation by 2 . The solution is x=15,y=9x=15, y=9. D. Multiply the second equation by 3 . The solution is x=12,y=10x=12, y=10.

Studdy Solution
We multiplied the second equation by **3**.
The solution is x=12x = \mathbf{12} and y=10y = \mathbf{10}.
This corresponds to answer choice D!
