Which of the following is the best example of a system of equations that should be solved by the elimination method?

Question 2 options:


8x + 3y = 2


5x + 8y = -11



2x - 4y = -16


y = 5x + 13



-8x - 9y = -17


16x - 4y = 12



12x + 7y = -17

Answer:the answer -8x-9y=-17

16x-4y=12

Explanation:

divide 16x-4y=12 with 2

8x-2y=12

Then add the equations

-8x-9y=-17

8x-2y=12

0-11y=-23

You can’t do this with the other equations provided.
