Answer:

  • second
  • first
  • 4
  • is

Step-by-step explanation:

In system B, the first equation is the same, so clearly the second equation has been replaced. The only other equation in the system is the first, so that is the one that is multiplied by some number.

The number it is multiplied by must make the y coefficient be the opposite of the y-coefficient in the second equation, so they cancel when added. That is, the multiplier times -1 must be -4, so the multiplier must be 4.

The purpose of doing this is to ensure the solution of System B is exactly the same as that of System A.

Answer:

second

first
