Question 7 of 10 VA
In order to solve the following system of equations by addition, which of the
following could you do before adding the equations so that one variable will
be eliminated when you add them?
4x - 2y=7
3x – 3y = 15

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2.

i believe your answer is 99.7% of 7-year-old children are between 46.6 inches and 49.5 inches tall.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
