In order to solve the following system of equations by subtraction, which of
the following could you do before subtracting the equations so that one
variable will be eliminated when you subtract them?
4x - 2y=7
3.x - 3v=15

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

answer: the answer is ann

it is impossible.

first, let's see what the pattern is.

58 - x = 47

46 - x = 36

x = 9

so this means that the term after 25 is 25 - 9:

the next term in the sequence is 16.
