To begin solving this system of linear equations by elimination, you can add the equations

3x+4y=38
+ 5x-4y=-30

8x=8

The Correct option is C. Addition Property of Equality.

For above Equation by Elimination we use

Addition Property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Addition Property of Equality :

The property that states that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal (i.e., the equation continues to be true.)

Here equation is given as

     3x   +   4y   =   38

  + 5x   -   4y    =   -30

                 8x    =   8

Here +4y and -4y gets cancelled or becomes 0 hence 8x = 8.

For above Equation by Elimination we use

Addition Property of equality

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
