Fill in the Blank

An operations analyst at a logistics firm is designing a training manual to help new schedulers manually verify automated delivery optimizations. These optimizations are modeled using a system of three linear equations with three variables (such as xx, yy, and zz) representing transport hours, storage space, and labor costs. In the training manual, the analyst writes:

'When solving a three-variable system of linear equations by elimination, after choosing one variable to eliminate and using a first pair of equations to do so, you must select a different pair of equations and eliminate the ________ variable to successfully produce a second new equation in the same two variables.'

Fill in the blank with the word that describes which variable must be eliminated in this step.
