Equation 1 : x + y + z = 3.25
equation 2 : 12x + 2y + z = 9.50
equation 3 : 2x + 4y + 5z = ??
u would multiply equation 1 by -12.....take that result and add it to equation 2....this eliminates x.
u would multiply equation 3 by -6...take that result and add it to equation 2....this eliminates x
It is the addition property because you transfer -2 to the other side which makes +2
The answer is 7. 8P=4 3q=21. you add those and get 25 then subtract 18 and get 7

x=2
88=11x+6y,
88=11*2+6y
6y=66
y=11
Check:
88=11x+6y=11*2+6*11=88 True
144=6x+12y=6*2+12*11=12+132=144 True
