Question 145911: IF the two given equations are being solved so that one unknown is elimated by the method of comparsion, which of the following steps is essential?
A. 6x+4y=14
6x-5y=8
B. 15x+10y=35
12x-10y=16
C. 6* (7-2y/3)-5y=8
D. (7-3x/2)=(6x-8/5)
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A if you are going to substract one of the equations from the other.
B if you are going to add the two equations.
In either case you eliminate the "x" terms.
