Answer:

Solve one of the equations for one of the variables

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system


\begin{gathered} 5r-s=5 \\ -4r+5s=17 \end{gathered}

To solve this system, the first step is to solve an equation from these two equation for one of the variables, either x or y.

Hence, the first option is correct.
