Question

Given equations A and B as 2/3x + 3/5y = 12 and 5/2y - 3x = 6 , respectively, which expression will eliminate the variable y?. . A. 5/3A + 2/5B . B. 5/3A - B. C. A - 2/5B. D. 5/3A - 2/5B . E. 25/15A + 6/15B

Answer 1

We are given with the expressions A as 2/3x + 3/5y = 12 and B as 5/2y - 3x = 6. To eliminate y, we should multiply each function with a number that when the two functions are added, y cancels out. In this case, we multiply A by 5/3 and B by -2/5. Hence the answer is D. D. 5/3A - 2/5B
