Which first step for solving the given system using substitution results in an equation without fractions? -9x4y - 10
-9x+3y3

The step to take to avoid fraction is to solve for y in equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-9x+ 4y =- 10

-9x+ 3y = 3

Required:

Step for solving using substitution (avoiding fraction)

Let -9x+ 4y =- 10  represent equation 1

and -9x+ 3y = 3 represent equation 2

The following points are to be noted

Having said that, the step to take to avoid fraction is to solve for y in equation 2

Check

Add 9x to both sides

Divide through by 3

Split fraction

At the point, the expression of y can then be substituted in equation 1
