What would be the first step in finding the solution using elimination?

• you cannot solve this using eliminiation

• cross out the 2x and 3x, because when you add them, they equal 0

• cross out the 2y and -2y because when you add them, they equal 0

• change to slope intercept form and graph

Let's multiply the top equation by -2. What would be our new equation?

2x + 3y = 12

4x - 7y = - 54

• 4x - 6y = -24

• -4x - 6y = 12

• -4x - 6y = 24

• -4x - 6y = -24
