Answer: the option A.

The elimination method consist is adding the two equations in a way that one variable be eliminated..

In order to do that you might have to manipulate on of the equations prior to add the two equations.

In this case, ff you multiply the second equation by - 1 you will get

  - x - y = - 4

which you can add to the first equation

   2x + y = 8 to eliminate the y.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Please read the answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's represent the relationship between red pepper flakes, in teaspoons, to tomato mix, in cups in a table

Red pepper (teaspoons)   1/2    1    1 1/2   2  2 1/2   3  3 1/2   4  4 1/2   5      

Tomato mix (cups)              2     4       6     8    10     12   14     16   18    20

2. Let's represent the relationship between red pepper flakes, in teaspoons, to tomato mix, in cups writing a equation:

t = amount of tomato mix cups

r = amount of red pepper flakes teaspoons

As we can see in the table,

<u>t = 4r</u>
