What is the FIRST step to solving systems by elimination?

• Check to see if there is same number opposite sign

• Subtract or add the equations together

• Turn the equations into slope intercept form

• Solve the equations for x

A farmer plants corn and wheat on a 180-acre farm. The farmer wants to plant three times as many acres of corn as wheat. What is/are the equation(s) used to solve this problem and the amount of acres?

• (y • 3) + x = 180 & x = 6, 120 corn & 40 wheat

• x + y = 180 & 3y = x, 135 corn & 45 wheat

• 3(y + x) = 180, 135 corn & 45 wheat

• x + y = 180 & 3y = x, 90 corn and 30 wheat
