What could be a first logical step if solving this system of equations algebraically?
.
A. Add the first and second equations together.
Incorrect. This would not eliminate any of the variables.
B. Multiply the second equation by 4 and the third equation by 5 and add the two new resulting equations together.
Incorrect. This would not eliminate any of the variables.
C. Multiply the first equation by 2 and the third equation by 3 and add the two new resulting equations.
Correct! This would eliminate the z-variables.
D. Multiply the first equation by 3 and add this result to the second equation.
Incorrect. This would not eliminate any of the variables.
Josh was solving the following system:
For his first step, Josh chose to multiply the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. What would be a good choice for Josh's second step?
A. Multiply the third equation by 2 and add it to the second equation.
Incorrect. This would eliminate the c-variable, and Josh eliminated the b-variable in his first step.
B. Multiply the first equation by 3 and add the result to the third equation.
Correct! This would eliminate the b-variable.
C. Multiply the first equation by 5 and add the result to the third equation.
Incorrect. This would eliminate the c-variable, and Josh eliminated the b-variable in his first step.
D. Multiply the first equation by 4 and add this result to the second equation.
Incorrect. This would not eliminate any of the variables.
