Answer 1

C

Explanation:

x +
`(3)/(4)` y = 5 ( multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction )

4x + 3y = 20 → (1)

x -
`(1)/(2)` y = 0 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )

2x - y = 0 → (2)

multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate y

6x - 3y = 0 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

(4x + 6x) + (3y - 3y) = 20 + 0

10x + 0 = 20

10x = 20 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 2
