a system of equations is shown below which operations on the system of equations will isolate the y quantity a multiply the second equation by 2 and add the res class=

Respuesta :

I: 4x-5y=-10
II: 2x-7y=4

c) multiply the second equation by -2 and add the result to the first equation
II*-2=-4x+14y=-8

add I+II*-2: 4x-5y+(-4x+14y)=-10-8
=9y=-18
