to combine the equations and solve for one of the variables you need to eliminate the other variable how can you change one equation so that one variable is eliminated when the two equations are added

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

answer: what statements

step-by-step explanation if you write the statements down then i could you.
