Describe the error in solving this system of equations using the Elimination Method.

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

They 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.
