Answer 1

b. hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

To practice, what if the two are added now? lets add one term at a time. first the x terms. 3x+x= 4x. then y+-3y=-2y. finally 3+-2=1. now putting them together we get 4x-2y=1.

multiplying the first equation by 3 gets us 9x+3y=9. basically multiplying each term by 3. now just do the same thing from the first part, so start with the new 9x+x and continue
