Question

Dawn has two bank accounts she has been using to save money for a car. The difference between account A and account B is $100. If she uses StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction of account A and StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction of account B, Dawn will have a down payment of $2000. Choose the statements that are true when solving for the amount Dawn has in each account. Check all that apply.

One of the equations that represents this scenario is A – B = 100.
One of the equations that represents this scenario is StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFractionA + StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFractionB = 2000.
To eliminate the A variable, multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 8.
To eliminate the B variable, multiply the first equation by 7 and the second by 8.
To eliminate the B variable, multiply the first equation by 7 and the second by –8.

Answer 1

a b and d

Explanation:

Answer 2

1) One of the equations that represents this scenario is A – B = 100.

2)One of the equations that represents this scenario is StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFractionA + StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFractionB = 2000.

4) To eliminate the B variable, multiply the first equation by 7 and the second by 8.
