Question

Rachel is solving the system of equations below by using the elimination method. Which of the following steps could she use? 7x-21y=14. 2x+3y=11

Answer 1

Answer:

$7x - 21y = 14 - - - (a) \\ 2x + 3y = 11 - - - (b) \\ (a) + 7 \times (b) : \\ 21x + 0y = 91 \\ x = 4.33 \\ (2 \times 4.33) + 3y = 11 \\ 3y = 2.34 \\ y = 0.78 \\ { \boxed{x = 4.33}} \\ { \boxed{y = 0.78}}$
