A student is trying to solve the set of two equations given below:

Equation A: x + z = 6
Equation B: 2x + 4z = 1

Which of the following is a possible step used in eliminating the z-term?

Multiply equation B by 4.

Multiply equation A by 2.***

Multiply equation A by −4.***

Multiply equation B by 2.

(either b or c)

1 answer

b would be used to eliminate x
but
you are supposed to eliminate z
so
c
which would give you -4z+4z = 0
