Mindy wants to solve the following system using the elimination method: y = x – 4 y = 2x – 3 What number should the equation y = x – 4 be multiplied by to eliminate x? (4 points)
-2 because in the second equation it is 2x If you multiply x in the first equation by -2 it will get rid of 2x in the second equation -2x cancels out 2x. -2x + 2x = 0
