Given the equations `2x + 4/3 y = 1` and `y - 9/13 x = 9`, by what factor would you multiply the first equation so that combining the two equations would eliminate x? a. `-9/26` b. `9/26` c. `1/2` d. `-9/13`

B.   9/26.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to change the coefficient of x in the first equation to 9/13 so that adding the 2 equations would eliminate x.

So you would multiply by  

= 9/13 / 2

= 9/13 * 1/2

= 9/26 (answer)
