Answer:

"Add equations A and B to eliminate
y. Add equations A and C to eliminate
y".

Explanation:

Let be the following system of linear equations:


4\cdot x + 4\cdot y + z = 24 (1)


2\cdot x - 4\cdot y +z = 0 (2)


5\cdot x - 4\cdot y - 5\cdot z = 12 (3)

1) We eliminate
y by adding (1) and (2):


(4\cdot x + 2\cdot x) +(4\cdot y - 4\cdot y) + (z + z) = 24 + 0


6\cdot x +2\cdot z = 24 (4)

2) We eliminate
y by adding (1) and (3):


(4\cdot x + 5\cdot x) +(4\cdot y - 4\cdot y) +(z -5\cdot z) = (24 + 12)


9\cdot x -4\cdot z = 36 (5)

Hence, the correct answer is "Add equations A and B to eliminate
y. Add equations A and C to eliminate
y".
