Here is a system of linear equations: 6x+21y=103
-6x+23y=51

Would you rather use subtraction or addition to solve the system? Explain your reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 21y = 103

-6x + 23y = 51

The signs of the x coefficients are opposite.  So adding the equations will eliminate the x terms.

44y = 154

y = 3.5

i do not know this sorry : (

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
