To eliminate a cariable in a system of equations, we multiply the variable by a factor that will make both coefficients of the variable to be equal.
Thus, we multiply the coefficient of y in the second equation by a factor that will make it equal to the coefficient of y in the first equation. i.e. multiply 1/2 by a factor that makes it equal to 3/4. and the factor is 3/2.
Therefore, the third option is the correct answer.

-5 -4-11/3-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 8/3 3 4 5
8/3≈ 2,6
-11/3 ≈-3,6
answer is C
He made an error in Step 3. He should have subtracted 2 from both sides.
Answer:
x=1/8y+9/8
y=<u>y=−8x+9</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let's solve for y.</u>
<u>8x+y=9</u>
<u>Step 1: Add -8x to both sides.</u>
<u>8x+y+−8x=9+−8x</u>
<u>y=−8x+9</u>
<u />
<u>Let's solve for x.</u>
<u>8x+y=9</u>
<u>Step 1: Add -y to both sides.</u>
<u>8x+y+−y=9+−y</u>
<u>8x=−y+9</u>
<u>Step 2: Divide both sides by 8.</u>
<u>8x/8=−y+9/8</u>
<u>x=−1/8y+9/8</u>
