Question

Help? Jemma wants to solve the following system using the elimination method:
y = x − 6
y = 6x − 19

What number should the equation y = x − 6 be multiplied by to eliminate x?

1
2
4
−6

Answer 1

-6?

Answer 2

If you're trying to eliminate x, then you must make it so that when an operation is done to x, it cancels out. You can try to subtract the two xs. Therefore, what do you multiply x by to that you can subtract 6x from it to eliminate it?

Answer 3

so yes

Answer 4

Ok thankyou
