A system of equations is shown below. Equation 1: 2 x − y = − 8 Equation 2: x + 2 y = 6 To begin solving the system of equations, Equation 1 is multiplied by a value of 2 to create Equation 3. Equation 3: 4 x − 2 y = − 16 Equation 2: x + 2 y = 6 Which procedure could best be used to eliminate one of the variables?

6 and 24

step-by-step explanation:

6 x 4 = 24

b: y = 2x + 2

step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 1

we want a line that is parallel, so it will have the same slope

the line is in the form y= mx+b, so the slope is 2

we have a slope and the y intercept (0,2)

since x is 0 we know the y point which is the y intercept

we can use y= mx+b to write the equation of the line

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x +2
