What is the first step in adding these equations to eliminate y?

D. Multiply the bottom equation by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

If you multiply the bottom equation by 7, then your equation will be:

7x+9y=8

14x-21y=7

Which will not get rid of y.

B.

If you multiply the top equation by 3, then your equation will be:

21x+27y=24

2x-3y=1

Which will not get rid of y.

C.

If you multiply the top equation by 2, then your equation will be:

14x+18y=16

2x-3y=1

Which will not get rid of y.

D.

If you multiply the bottom equation by 3, then your equation will be:

7x+9y=8

6x-9y=3

Which will get rid of y.

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75

r = 78539458390583095803458309458039485093485 or just 3
