Question
Using the elimination method to eliminate the variable, what is your first step to solve the system of equations?
2x + 4y = 16
2x - 4y = 0
substitute 2x-4y in for x in the top equation
multiply the top equation by 4
multiply the bottom equation by 2
add the equations together

The first step to solve the system of equations using the elimination method would be to add the two equations together. This will allow you to eliminate the variable x and solve for y. By adding the two equations, the x terms will cancel out and you can then solve for y.
