Answer 1

photomath, assistant in mathematics, will decompose everything and give the correct answer.

Answer 2

The possible step to solve the system is c. Add to eliminate y.

How to determine the possible step to solve the system

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

6x – 8y = -94

-x + 8y = 49

Add both equations to eliminate y

So, we have

5x = -49

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

the possible step to solve the system is c. Add to eliminate y.
