Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Multiply equation B by 4.Step-by-step explanation:Solve equation A 3x + 4y = 52 and equation B 5x + y = 30 by multiplying equation B by 4.This becomes 3x + 4y = 52 and 20x + 4y = 120. Subtract the equations.3x + 4y = 5220x + 4y = 120-----------------------17x = -68Divide by -17.x = 4Substitute x = 4 and solve for y.3(4) + 4y = 5212 + 4y = 524y = 40y = 10
