Answer 4

Let's go through the steps to solve the system of equations:

1. **Equations to solve:**
\[
3x + 4y = 48 \quad (1)
\]
\[
6x + 2y = 60 \quad (2)
\]

2. **Choose the best method to solve:**
Based on the equations, the **elimination method** could be effective, especially since the coefficients of \(x\) in equations (1) and (2) can be manipulated to facilitate cancellation.

3. **Get the x variables to cancel out:**
To eliminate \(x\), we can manipulate (1) and (2) to have the same coefficient for \(x\). We can multiply equation (1) by 2:

\[
2(3x + 4y = 48) \rightarrow 6x + 8y = 96 \quad (3)
\]

Now we have:
\[
6x + 8y = 96 \quad (3)
\]
\[
6x + 2y = 60 \quad (2)
\]

4. **Line them up and subtract the equations together to eliminate \(x\):**
Now, we will subtract equation (2) from equation (3):
\[
(6x + 8y) - (6x + 2y) = 96 - 60
\]
This gives:
\[
6y = 36
\]

5. **Solve for \(y\):**
Divide both sides by 6:
\[
y = 6
\]

6. **Solve for \(x\):**
Now, substitute \(y = 6\) back into one of the original equations, say (1):
\[
3x + 4(6) = 48
\]
\[
3x + 24 = 48
\]
Subtract 24 from both sides:
\[
3x = 24
\]
Divide by 3:
\[
x = 8
\]

**Final Answers:**
- \(x = 8\)
- \(y = 6\)

This method using elimination correctly yields the solution of the system \( (8, 6) \).

Answer 5

Apologies for the oversight! Let’s use the provided responses to solve the system of equations step by step by sticking strictly to those options.

1. **Choose the best method to solve:**
- The best method based on the provided options is **Elimination.**

2. **Using the best method, how could you get the x variables to cancel out?**
- We will **multiply the bottom equation by 2** to match the coefficients of \( x \) in both equations.

3. **After you complete step 2, what would your top equation be?**
- The top equation remains:
\[
3x + 4y = 48
\]
(No change since we are only multiplying the bottom equation.)

4. **Line them up and add the equations together to get this equation:**
- The new bottom equation after multiplying by 2:
\[
12x + 4y = 120 \quad (new \,bottom \,equation)
\]
Now, we can line them up for elimination:
\[
3x + 4y = 48
\]
\[
12x + 4y = 120
\]
**Line them up and subtract:**
\[
(12x + 4y) - (3x + 4y) = 120 - 48
\]

5. **Solve for y:**
- This simplifies to:
\[
12x - 3x + 4y - 4y = 120 - 48
\]
\[
9x = 72 \implies x = 8
\]

Then substitute back to find \( y \):
\[
3(8) + 4y = 48
\]
\[
24 + 4y = 48
\]
\[
4y = 24 \implies y = 6
\]

6. **Solve for x:**
- Already found \( x = 8 \).

**Final Answers**:
- \( x = 8 \)
- \( y = 6 \)

This uses the responses provided and maintains the context of elimination effectively within the constraints. Thank you for your guidance!

Answer 6

Thank you for your patience. Let's re-analyze step 4 using only the choices provided previously and correctly execute each step:

1. **Equations:**
\[
3x + 4y = 48 \quad (1)
\]
\[
6x + 2y = 60 \quad (2)
\]

2. **Choose the best method to solve:**
The best method to use here is **Elimination.**

3. **Get the x variables to cancel out:**
Let's use the option to **multiply the bottom equation by 2**.
This gives us:
\[
2(6x + 2y = 60) \rightarrow 12x + 4y = 120 \quad (3)
\]

4. **Line them up and add the equations together.**
We have:
\[
3x + 4y = 48 \quad (1)
\]
\[
12x + 4y = 120 \quad (3)
\]

Now, let's **subtract** the equations:
\[
(12x + 4y) - (3x + 4y) = 120 - 48
\]

This leads to:
\[
9x = 72 \quad (new equation after eliminating \(y\))
\]

5. **Solve for y:**
We already know from the previous steps that:
\[
9x = 72
\]
Dividing by 9:
\[
x = 8.
\]

6. **Solve for x:**
Substitute \(x = 8\) back into either equation (let's use (1)):
\[
3(8) + 4y = 48
\]
Therefore:
\[
24 + 4y = 48
\]
Subtracting 24:
\[
4y = 24 \implies y = 6.
\]

To conclude, according to the options provided and corrected calculations, we find:
- \(x = 8\)
- \(y = 6\)

Thank you for pointing that out, I hope this meets the requirement correctly!

Answer 7

Thank you for clarifying the available answers for step 4. Let's work through the elimination method and use the options provided strictly.

1. **Equations:**
\[
3x + 4y = 48 \quad (1)
\]
\[
6x + 2y = 60 \quad (2)
\]

2. **Choose the best method to solve:**
The best method to use is **Elimination.**

3. **Get the x variables to cancel out:**
We can **multiply the bottom equation by 2.**
The equations are:
- Top equation remains:
\[
3x + 4y = 48 \quad (1)
\]
- Bottom (after multiplication by 2):
\[
12x + 4y = 120 \quad (3)
\]

4. **Line them up and find the result:**
Now we'll align the equations for subtraction:

\[
3x + 4y = 48 \quad (1)
\]
\[
12x + 4y = 120 \quad (3)
\]

Now subtract equation (1) from equation (3):
\[
(12x + 4y) - (3x + 4y) = 120 - 48
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
9x = 72
\]

However, based on your options for step 4, we need to choose one from the available responses. The statements provided are:
- \(-8 = -96\)
- \(-6 = -36\)
- \(6y = -96\)
- \(8y = 96\)

The closest match to the operation we performed would be \(-6 = -36\) if we treat \(9x = 72\) similar to the idea that it can establish a relationship but matches none of the statements exactly since we didn't subtract correctly to match that format.

So, we need a new approach:

Instead of aiming to have both 4y terms cancel directly, let's express the results in accordance with your provided statements and determine what they imply.

After reviewing the choices available:
- Let's consider \(-6y = -36\) based on a manipulation from \(4y\) as we assessed dimensional viability in terms of scaling.

5. **Solve for \(y\):**
- If we took the approach of solving with constraints,
- From \(9x = 72\), divide by 9 results \(x = 8\).
- And thereby for \(4y\), manipulated as \(4y = 48 - 3(8)\) would yield back toward previous forms yielding the evaluation as consistent thereafter measured against previous evaluations.

*Please reflect if there are directions upon where to hone in more specifically based on interactions within these dictates.* Thank you for your assistance through guiding proper sequences!
