D. To get system B, the second equation in system A was replaced by the sum of that equation and the first equation multiplied by -5. The solution to system B will be the same as the solution to system A.



Answer :

C. To get system B, the second equation in system A was replaced by the sum of that equation and the first equation multiplied by -3. The solution to system B will be the same as the solution to system A.

System A :

x + 6y = 5 ..........(1)

3x - 7y = -35 ..........(2)

If we multiply the first equation by -3, then we will get :

3(x + 6y) = 3 (5)

⇒ -3x - 18y = -15 ..... (3)

Now the Sum of equation (2) and equation (3) is:

⇒ Sum : -12y =-50

Now if we replace the second equation in system A with this -12y =-50  , then we will get the system B.

Solution of system B:

x + 6y = 5 ..........(1)

-25y =-50

First we will take the second equation as there is only one variable 'y'. So, we will solve that equation for 'y'

-25y =-50

y = -2

Now for solving 'x', we will plug y= -2 into the first equation

x + 6y = 5

x + 6(-2) = 5

x -12 = 5

x = 12+ 5

x = 17

So, the solution of system B is (17, -2), that means the solution of both systems are same.
