What is the first step in solving this system of equations by elimination? 2x – 2y = 5 5x + 2y = 9

The first step in solving this system of equations by elimination is "adding both equations together."

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is.....

In elimination method, our first target is to eliminate any one variable terms from both equations. Here the y-terms are -2y and +2y in those two equations.

So, first we will just add equation (1) and (2) for eliminating y-terms.....

Now plugging this into equation (1).....

So, the first step in solving this system of equations by elimination is "adding both equations together"

step-by-step explanation:

we can't see all full 4 options, but if this is the full option, than the very left one is correct:

-2/5 * -3 3/4
