Question

A variable needs to be eliminated to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct first step: -3x+8y=-294x-8y=28A. Add to eliminate xB.Subtract to eliminate yC.Add to eliminate yD. Subtract to eliminate x

Answer 1

From the given equations, we can note that coeffcients of variable y are opposite. This means that, in order to eliminate y, we can add both equations. Then, the answer is C
