A: 2x + 8y = 5 b: x + 9y = 10 to solve this system of equations by elimination, what could you multiply equation b by if you want to add the equations together and have a resulting equation with only the y-variable (the x-variable is eliminated)?

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
