Question
Use the elimination method to solve the following system of equations.
7x + 3y = 4
x- 2y = 3
What is the first step to solve the given system of equations using the elimination method?
A. Solve one of the equations for one of its variables. Then substitute the expression for the variable found into the other equation.
B. If necessary, rewrite the equations in standard form. Then add the two equations together and solve the result for one of the two variables.
C. If necessary, multiply one or both equations by some nonzero number so that the coefficient of one variable in one equation is the opposite of the coefficient of that variable in the other equation.
D. Solve one of the equations for one of its variables. Then substitute the expression for the variable found into the same equation.
