Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A variable needs to be eliminated to solve the system of equations below. Choose the correct first step.

9x – 2y = – 75

2x – 2y = -12

Add to eliminate x. Add to eliminate y. Subtract to eliminate y. Subtract to eliminate x.

The correct step to take as the first step is subtract to eliminate y, because the coefficient of y are the same and are carrying the same sign. Doing that we have:

9x – 2x –2y – (–2y) = –75 – (–12)

7x –2y + 2y = –63

7x = –63

Therefore, the correct step is subtracting to eliminate y.

What is<br> |-3+45-(-14)|+(-|-87+12/46|<br> simplified
USPshnik [31]
|x|=absoulte value of x  which means whatever x is, make it positive
so first solve any division/multiplication

the only one is 12/46=6/23
so we do the absoulte value signs
-3+45-(-14)
-(-14)=+14
-3+45+14=56
absoulute value of 56=56

56+(-|-87+6/23|)
-87+6/23=-86 and 17/23
absoulte value of -86 and 17/23=86 and 17/23
there is a negative sign in front of the absoulte vaulue so make it negative
56-86 and 17/23=-30 and 17/23 or about -30.73913
