What is the first step in solving the following system of linear equations using the elimination method?

 $x+y=2$  
 $2x+7y=9$  

• Add the x terms in the two equations and the y terms in the two equations so you get 3x + 8y = 11

• Multiply all terms in the top equation by 2 so that you  can eliminate the x terms

• Multiply the x in the first equation by -2 so you get -2x + y = 2

• Multiply all terms in the top equation by -2 so that you can eliminate the x terms.

Describe the error in solving the system of equations using elimination:

• They eliminated the x terms when they should have eliminated the y terms.

• The subtracted 5x and x to get 4x, but they should have added the x terms to get 6x = 24.

• They added 16 and 8 to get 24, but they should have subtracted them to get 8 on the right side of the equation.

• They eliminated the y terms, but they couldn't because one is a negative and one is a positive.
