Question

Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations?

Answer 1

Answer: A and B


Explanation: I’ll use A as an example. When you multiply the bottom equation by -3/2, the equation becomes: -9x+6y=-3. Then, proceed to add the equations. Look at X and Y in both equations: do the Y variables in both equations equal to 0 when added together? Yes, because -6y+6y=0! Therefore, you can eliminate y in these two equations.
