Question

To solve this system, you could do the following steps:
3x+4y=48
6x+2y=60
1. Choose the best method to solve by looking at the way the equations are set up for you: ___

2. Using the best method, how could you get the x variables to cancel out? ____

3. After you complete step 2, what would your top equation be? ____

4. Line them up and add the equations together to get this equation. _____

5. Solve for y. ____

6. Solve for x. _____

Answer 1

The answer options for each section were:

Section one: Graphing, Substitution, or Elimination

Section two: Divide the top equation by 4, Multiply the tope equation x -2, Divide the bottom equation by 2, Multiply the bottom equation x 2

Section three: 3x+y=30, -6x-8y=-96, -6x+4y=96, x+2y=46

Section four: -8y=-96, 6y=-96, 8y=96, -6y=-36

Section five: y=-12, y=18, y=6

Section six: x=8, x=-3, x=6
