To solve this system using the addition method, you would need to multiply the first equation by what number in order for the x's to add out?
2x + 3y = 8
-6x + 4y = 11

3
-3
6
are my option
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
we want to multiply the first equation by a number so that when we add the two equations the x's cancel out
so we want the x in the first equation to be 6x
what do we multiply 2x by to make it 6x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
correct
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
we want it to be 6x so that when we add the first equation to the second the x's "go away"
6x+(-6x)=0

yayyy what about 3x - y = 3
-2x + 2y = 6
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
well we have -2x on the bottom so we want 2x on the top
what do we multiply 3x by to get 2x?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
\[3x*\frac{?}{?}=2x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
answer be 2?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
2*3x = 2x?
