A possible step toward solving these equations by addition could be:

-2x + 5y = -3
-11 + 2x = -3y
A. solving for x in the equation 2x = -14
B. solving for y in the equation 8y = 14
C. solving for y in the equation 8y = 8
D. multiplying 2x + 3y = 11 by -1
A step toward solving these equations by addition could be:

12x - 3y = 4
-2 - 2y = -4x
A. multiplying 12x - 3y = 4 by 2
B. add 12x and -4 x
C. adding 24x to 12x
D. multiply -2 - 2y = -4x by -3

Answer 1

Okay so if i were to solve this for the first one i would multiply it by negative 1 to then cross out the x's. So i think then your answer would be D for the first one. As for the second one i would multiply the second equation by -3 to get the x's to cross out. Thus again giving you D as your answer as well.
