Verified Answer :

Part 1)

we have

\(3x-6y=3\) ------> equation A

\(7x-5y=-11\) ------> equation B

Multiply by \(-7\) the equation A

\(-7(3x-6y)=-7*3\)

\(-21x+42y=-21\) ------> equation C

Multiply by \(3\) the equation B

\(3*(7x-5y)=-11*3\)

\(21x-15y=-33\) -------> equation D

Adds equation C and equation D

\(-21x+42y=-21 \\21x-15y=-33\\---------- \\ 42y-15y=-21-33\\27y=-54 \\ y=-2\)

therefore

the answer Part 1) is the option A

\(y=-2\)

Part 2)

we have

\(3x+y=6\)

\(y=-3x+6\) ------> equation A

\(6x+2y=8\)

Simplify Divide by \(2\) both sides

\(3x+y=4\)

\(y=-3x+4\) ------> equation B

the lines A and B are parallel lines, because the slope m is equal

so

The system has no solution

therefore

the answer Part 2) is the option D

There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.

Part 3)

we have

\(4x+2y=6\) ------> equation A

\(x-y=3\)

\(y=x-3\)  ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

\(4x+2[x-3]=6\)

\(6x-6=6\)

\(6x=12\)

\(x=2\)

therefore

the answer part 3) is the option D

\(x=2\)

Part 4)

Let

x---------> The number of one-step equations

y---------> The number of two-step equations

we know that

\(x+y=1,120\)

\(x=1,120-y\) -------> equation A

\(3x-2y=1,300\) ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

\(3[1,120-y]-2y=1,300\)

\(3,360-5y=1,300\)

\(5y=3,360-1,300\)

\(5y=2,060\)

\(y=412\)

therefore

the answer part 4) is  the option D

\(y=412\)
