2. Which of the following gives a valid reason for using the given
solution method to solve the system of equations shown?
Equation 1: 4x - 5y = 4
Equation li: 2x + 3y = 2

a Elimination; a coefficient in Equation is an integer multiple of a coefficient
in Equation II.

b Elimination; a coefficient in Equation II is an integer multiple of
a coefficient in Equation 1

c Substitution; equation I can be solved for x in one step by dividing both
sides by 4

d Substitution; equation can be solved for x in one step by subtracting 3y
from both sides.
