To eliminate both the variables
to eliminate y and solve for x

Answer 1

The reason we should add these equations is to eliminate the variable "y" and solve for "x." When we add the equations together, the -3y and +3y terms will cancel each other out, leaving us with only the x terms. This will allow us to solve for the value of x.
