Answer:
To decide whether to add or subtract, determine if the values of the coefficients are the same or opposites:
. If the values are the same, subtract the equations.
• If the values are opposites or additive inverses, add the equations.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
How to solve
Options (1) and (2) are incorrect because none of the options eliminate x or y.
For option (3),
- Check for the coefficients of x and y
- If they are the same (sign and value), then subtract; otherwise add
For instance:
Rewrite the second equation
The coefficient of y are the same, so we subtract;
<em>See that y has been eliminated</em>

The first one would be 1 dash after the last one. The second one would be in the middle of the 3rd and 4th dash, the 3rd would b at 2. The fourth would b slightly after the 1st dash after 3. And the last would be in the middle of the 1st dash after 2.5 and the 2nd
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
3
Discussion:
34 + 2x = 40 => subtract 34 from both sides
(34-34) + 2x = 40 - 34 => as (34-34) = 0 and 40-34 = 6
2x = 6 => divide both sides by 2
x = 6/2 = 3
Check the answer:
Does 34 + 2x = 40 if x = 3 ?
Does 34 + 2(3) = 40 ?
Does 34 + 6 = 40 ? YES! so the answer checks.
Thank you,
