Respuesta :
Option C is correct (y + z = 6) ⋅ −3
What is a linear equation in math?
- A linear equation only has one or two variables.
- No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
- When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.
As per the statement -
A student is trying to solve the system of two equations given below:
Equation P: y + z = 6 ....[1]
Equation Q: 3y + 4z = 1 ....[2]
Multiply the equation [1] by -3 to both sides we have;
-3 .( y + z = 6 ) ⇒ -3y -3z = -18..........(3)
Add equation [2] and [3] to eliminate the y-term;
z = -17
Therefore, the possible step used in eliminating the y-term is, (y + z = 6) ⋅ −3

(y + z = 6) ⋅ 4
(3y + 4z = 1) ⋅ 4
(y + z = 6) ⋅ −3
(3y + 4z = 1) ⋅ 3
