Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Which system is equivalent to

5x² + 6y² = 50

7x² + 2y² = 10

A. 5x² + 6y² = 50

-21x²- 6y² = 10

B. 5x² + 6y² = 50

-21x²- 6y² = 30

C. 35x²+ 42y² = 250

-35x²- 10y² = -50

D. 35x² + 42y² = 350

-35x²- 10y² = -50

In this question system of equations have been given as

5x² + 6y² = 50 --------(1)

7x² + 2y² = 10 ---------(2)

To solve these equations multiply the equation (2) by (-5)

-35x² - 10y² = -50 --------(3)

and multiply equation (1) by 7

35x²+ 42y² = 350 ---------(4)

Therefore, system of equations (3) and (4) are the equivalent to the parent system.

This system matches with Option D.

Therefore, Option D is the answer.
