Malik solved this system of equations.

2x+4y=24
5x+y=15

as the first step, he decided to solve for x in the first equation because it has a small, even number for the coefficient. jill told him there was a more efficient way. what reason can jill give for her statement?

a. the variable y in the second equation has a coefficient of one so there will be fewer steps to the solution.
b. the variable x in the second equation has a coefficient of 5 so it will be easy to divide 15 by 5.
c. the variable y in the first equation is divisible by 2 so it will be the most efficient way to start.
d. the variable y in the first equation has a larger even number. when dividing by 4, the solution will be a smaller number.

Ahas the coordinates (–4, 3) and b has the coordinates (4, 4). if do,1/2(x, y) is a dilation of △abc, what is true about the image △a'b'c'? check all that apply. ab is parallel to a'b'. do,1/2(x, y) = the distance from a' to the origin is half the distance from a to the origin. the vertices of the image are farther from the origin than those of the pre-image. a'b' is greater than ab.
