Erin is 3 years younger than twice Alex's age. Their ages combined are 33 years. How old are Alex and Erin. If x=Erin's age and y=Alex's age, choose the system that matches the situation.

• x + y = 33
  y = 2x - 3
• x + y = 33
  x = 2y - 3
• x + y = 33
  x = 3 - 2y
• x + y = 3
  x = 33 - 2y

What would be the first step in finding the solution using elimination?

2x + 2y = -2

3x - 2y = 12

• you cannot solve this using eliminiation

• cross out the 2x and 3x

• cross out the 2y and -2y

• change to slope intercept form and graph

What would be the first step in finding the solution with elimination?

4x + 3y = 1

x - 3y = -11

• cross out the 3y and -3y

• cross out the 4x and x

• change all the signs of the second equation

• add 1 and -11
