Answer:

The answer is Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

To eliminate the x terms by adding the first to the second equation, we have to make the coefficient of the first x the additive inverse of the second.

i.e. we have to convert ⅘ into -8 which is the additive inverse of 8..

to convert ⅘ into -8 ..we multiply by -10

  • multiply the first equation by -10

(⅘x × -10) - (⅗y × -10) = 18 × -10

; -8x + 6y = -180

So therefore if you add -8x to 8x, it would be equal to 0.
