Question

6x + 2y = 60
Select the correct option for each question

Choose the best method to solve by looking at the way the equations are set up for you: graphing, elimination, substitution

Using the best method, how could you get the x variables to cancel out? Divide the bottom equation by 2. Divide the top equation by 4.Multiply the top equation x -2.Multiply the bottom equation x -2.

After you complete step 2, what would your top equation be?
x + 2y = 46. -6x + 4y = 96. -6x - 8y = -96. 3x + y = 30.

Line them up and add the equations together to get: -6 = -36, 8y = 96. 6y = -96. -8y = -96.

Answer 1

-8y = -96
