Question

Multiply each equation by a constant that would help to eliminate the y terms. 2x-5y=-21 3x-3y=-18 What are the resulting equations?

Answer 1

Answer:

6x - 15y = -63

15x -15y = -90

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to multiply the two equations by a constant that will eliminate the y terms.

The two equations are:

2x - 5y = -21

3x - 3y = -18

Let us multiply the first by 3 and the second by 6. The resulting equations will be:

6x - 15y = -63

15x -15y = -90

Note: To solve the system of equations we can simply subtract the first from the second.
