Question

Mindy wants to solve the following system using the elimination method:

y = x – 4
y = 2x – 3

What number should the equation y = x – 4 be multiplied by to eliminate x? (4 points)


–1
–2
–4
–6

Answer 1

hello :)

Answer 2

so the question is about Mindy solving
y = x – 4
y = 2x – 3
using the elimination method.

and the question asks what number do we need to multiply for y = x-4 to eliminate x

Answer 3

notice that the second equation has y =2x-3, so that gives a clue on what to multiply by for the first equation

Answer 4

*what number to multiply by for the first equation

Answer 5

-4? @UsukiDoll

Answer 6

or is it -1?
