Answer:x.Step-by-step explanation:x because if you multiply the first equation by 2 and add the result to equation 2 , the y’s will cancel out.2x + y = 9 Times 2:-4x + 2y = 183x – 2y = 17 Adding:-7x = 35x = 5.

Answer:In my opinion, it would be ‘y’, since it is already on its own (in the first equation) without any coefficients.
