Question

A student is trying to solve the system of two equations given below:

Answer 1

Answer:

A. (y+z=6) -8

Step-by-step explanation:

You will use the process of adding together the like terms. Since in equation Q, we have 8y, we need -8y in equation P. Answer A is the only one that will give us -8. You have to distribute -8 across all the variables and numbers in the parenthesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

(y+z=6)-8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to eliminate y. You already have 8y. What eliminates 8y? -8y. And if you simplify (y+z=6)-8, you’ll get -8y-8z=-48.
