Question

A set of equations is given below:

Answer 1

The statement describes a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations is "Equation F can be written as 4n + 1 = 6n + 8" ⇒ C

Explanation:

In the system of equations

• y = ax + b

• y = cx + d

To find a solution to it, equate the right sides of the two equations

• ax + b = cx + d

Then find the value of x

Substitute the value of x in one of the 2 equations to find the value of y

In our question

∵ m = 4n + 1 ⇒ E

∵ m = 6n + 8 ⇒ F

→ To solve the system equate the right sides of the two equations

∵ m = m

∴ 4n + 1 = 6n + 8

∴ The statement describes a step that can be used to find the solution

to the set of equations is "Equation F can be written as 4n + 1 = 6n + 8"
