Which of the choices below constitutes a simultaneous solution to these equations? (1) 3x + 2y = 6 and (2) 6x + 3y = 12 Question 27Select one: a. x = 2, y = 0 b. x = 0, y = 0 c. x = 1, y = 1.5 d. x = .5, y = 2
Added by Lourdes M.
Step 1
The first equation is: (1) 3x + 2y = 6 The second equation is: (2) 6x + 3y = 12 We can simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 3: (2) 6x + 3y = 12 → 2x + y = 4 Now we have: (1) 3x + 2y = 6 (2) 2x + y = 4 Show more…
