Given the system of equations presented here: 2x + 4y = 14 4x + y = 20 Which of the following actions creates an equivalent system such that, when combined with the other equation, one of the variables is eliminated?
A) 2x + 4y = 14 B) 4x + y = 20 If you multiply equation A by -2, then when the equations are added, the x will be eliminated. The solutions are: X = 4.714285714285714 Y = 1.1428571428571428
