What is the first step in solving the system of equations using the elimination method? 3x+4y=8 5x−2y=1 select one: a. solve the first equation for x. b. multiply the second equation by 2. c. add the equations. d. subtract the second equation from the first equation.

The answer is B.

Hope this helps

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
