Consider the system of equations below. What could be the first step in solving the
system of equations using elimination?
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 6y = 12

Add the two equations.

Add 4 to both sides of the first equation.

Multiply the first equation by -1

Multiply the second equation by 2.

(A) Add the two equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solved by addition/elimination method.

Let me know if I'm wrong.

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.
