Answer:
Explanation:
I'm not sure what you mean by those steps mean but here is how I would answer using the elimination method:
3x - 12y = 5
minus (each term separately: 3x - 3x, -12y - -y, and 5 - 9)
3x - y = 9
This eliminates the 3x and = -11y = -4
You can then simplify from there and get y = 4/11
