Which of these steps will eliminate a variable in this system
3x-3y=6
6x+9y=3

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when you do a the answer states, multipliying the top by 2, makes the top equation 6x-6y=12. When you subtract the second from the first you get:

 6x - 6y = 12

- 6x + (-)9y = (-)3

Which results in -15y = 9.

This results in an eliminated variable from the start of the system of equation.

The correct answer is A.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
