2. Which variable will eliminate? *
3x +6y=27
-3x+8y= 1

the x variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 6y = 27 → (1)

- 3x + 8y = 1 → (2)

Since the signs of the coefficients of x are opposite, then adding them will eliminate the x- term, that is

Add (1) and (2) term by term

0 + 14y = 28

14y = 28 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 2

Then substitute y = 2 into either equation for corresponding value of x

the answer is d. (1.2, -4.7) on edgn

hope this !

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3
