A variable needs to be eliminated to solve the system of equations below. Choose the correct first step
— 5х + бу = 41
7x - 6y = -43

6y-6y, cancel it out to find x first.

-5x+6y=41

7x-6y=-43

2x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

i hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to add the 2 equations This will eliminate the y terms  

( + 6y + -6y = 0).

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743

step-by-step explanation:

answer: -10

step-by-step explanation:

s(t) = 1 - 10t

s(x) = 1 - 10x

s(x + h) = 1 - 10(x + h)

            = 1 - 10x - 10h

s(x + h) - s(x) = 1 - 10x - 10h - (1 - 10x)

                      = 1 - 10x - 10h - 1 + 10x

                      = -10h

= -10
