What would you do to solve the system? System of equations
Click on the correct answer.
12x = 48 - 8y
10x + 8y = 38
Add the equations.
12x = 48 - 8y
10x = 38 - 8y
Subtract the equations.
3. To decide whether to add or subtract,
determine if the values of the
coefficients are the same or opposites:
. If the values are the same, subtract the
equations.
• If the values are opposites or additive
inverses, add the equations.
Remember, you're trying to remove one
variable.

To decide whether to add or subtract,  determine if the values of the  coefficients are the same or opposites:

. If the values are the same, subtract the  equations.

• If the values are opposites or additive  inverses, add the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

How to solve

Options (1) and (2) are incorrect because none of the options eliminate x or y.

For option (3),

- Check for the coefficients of x and y

- If they are the same (sign and value), then subtract; otherwise add

For instance:

Rewrite the second equation

The coefficient of y are the same, so we subtract;

See that y has been eliminated

answer: r there any options?
