Question

I sent a pic to the app and it gave me an answer my class hasn't gone over and so I need someone to walk through the equation with me. The instructions say "solve the systems by elimination".

Answer 1

The linear system:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}x+4y=2+\frac{3}{4} \\ 3x+\frac{1}{2}y=9+\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

Let's follow the steps to solve this linear system.

1) Multiply one equation by a constant to set up the elimination of one of the variables.

You can multiply equation 2 by - 8:
