Question

2x + 3y = 6
-x + 5y = 10


If you were solving this system of equations using the addition method, which step makes the most sense?

Add everything together to get
x + 8y = 16 and then solve for x.

Multiply the bottom equation by 2 thus eliminating the x variable when the equations are added together.

Add -5y to both sides of the bottom equation to get the x variable isolated.

Multiply the top equation by 5 and the bottom equation by 3 thus eliminating the y variable when the equations are added together.

Answer 1

use elimination but first make the second equation have 2x which you need to time 2 to the second equation and add both equation to eliminate x and you will find y and later plug in y to find x
