Consider the following system of equations:

6x + 8y = 48

4x - y = 13

The next step to solve this system using the Elimination method is to create an equivalent system. Which of these systems is equivalent to the one above?

• 0.5x + y = 6

  4x - y = 13

• 6x + 8y = 48

  4x - 8y = 13

• 6x + 8y = 48

  - 32x + 8y = 104

• 6x + 8y = 48

  32x - 8y = 104
