Question

To solve this system of equations by elimination you should begin by... x+y=10 2x-3y=6 A) adding the two equations together. B) multiplying the first equation by 2, then add them together. C)multiplying the first equation by 3, then add them together. D) subtracting the first equation from the second equation

Answer 1

C. Multiply 1st equation by 3, then add together

Explanation:

X+y=10

3(x+y)=3(10)multiply by 3

3x+3y=30 add to following equation

2x-3y=6

5x=36
