(1) ax + by = c (2) dx + ey = f jim is trying to solve the system of equations. he begins by multiplying equation (1) by d and equation (2) by a. before he can continue, his friend angela comes by and says, "no, you should have multiplied equation (1) by e and equation (2) by b. you're going to get the wrong answer." is angela right? why or why not?

No, Angela is not correct.

As the method Jim was performing will also lead to the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given first equation as:

                  Ax + By = C

Second equation is:

                   Dx + Ey = F

Jim solved the equation as:

He begins by multiplying equation (1) by D and equation (2) by A.

and so by subtracting both the equations he will obtain a value of y.

and then put the y-value in any of the given two equations to obtain the value of x.

Angela Method:

you should have multiplied equation (1) by E and equation (2) by B.

and when she will subtract both the equations she will get the value of x first and then when she will put the value of x in any of the given equation she will obtain the value of y.

But both will get a value for x and y.

Hence, the method Jim was performing was also correct.
