Alvin’s first step in solving the given system of equations is to multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by –3. which linear combination of alvin’s system of equations reveals the number of solutions to the system? 9x + 4y = 36 6x + 2.5y = 24 infinite solutions: 0x – 0y = 0 no solutions: 0x + 15.5y = 144 one solution: 0x + 0.5y = 0 two solutions: 0x – 0.5y = 60

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
