Astudent is trying to solve the set of two equations given below:

equation a: x + z = 6
equation b: 2x + 4z = 1

which of the following is a possible step used in eliminating the z-term?

multiply equation b by 4.
multiply equation a by 2.
multiply equation a by −4.
multiply equation b by 2.

If you would like to eliminate the z-term, you can do this using the following steps:

x + z = 6       /*(-4)
2x + 4z = 1

-4x -4z = -24
2x + 4z = 1

-4x + 2x = -24 + 1
-2x = -23

x = 23/2

The correct result would be x + z = 6       /*(-4); multiply equation A by -4.

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
