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 - By
10x = 38 - Sy
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.
