Question

What is the first step in solving this system of equations using elimination?

y= 3/4x + 3

2x – 4y = 6


A.

Write the second equation in slope-intercept form.


B.

Subtract 2x from both sides of the second equation.


C.

Write the first equation in standard form.


D.

Multiply the first equation by 3

Answer 1

I think that we have to rewrite the the first equation in standard form, so we get two equations like these:

\(3x-4y=-3
\\
2x – 4y = 6\)

Answer 2

now we can subtract the second equation from the first one
