<span>x + 6y = 2
4x - 3y = 10
The first thing to do when solving a system of equations using the addition/elimination method is to multiply one or both of the equation by a value that will cancel out one of the variable terms.
Based on this, the correct answer is D - multiply the bottom equation by 2 thus eliminating the y variable when the equations are added together:
</span>x + 6y = 2 x + 6y = 2
2(4x - 3y = 10) --> 8x - 6y = 20<span>

Yes. The ratio is 2/6 which is 1/3 and 3/9 which is also one 1/3. The ratios are the same.
The answer is C because a negative divided by positive is a negative
