To eliminate x, the coefficients of x's in both equations should be opposite numbers. Since the coefficient of x in the second equation is 3, the coefficient in the first equation should be -3. So she should multiply the first equation by -3.
12000 x 0.40 = 4800
12000 - 4800 = 7200
7200 acres are being logged

when is 9 = 15.2 - 0.537x
9 = 15.2 - 0.537x
-15.2 -15.2 subtract 15.2 from both sides
-6.2 = -0.537x
/-0.537 /-0.537 divide -0.537 from both sides
11.55 = x or 12 feet round to nearest whole foot
