Given:
The system of equations:
To find:
The number that can be multiplied by the second equation to eliminate the x-variable when the equations are added together.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
...(ii)
The coefficient of x in (i) and (ii) are 1 and respectively.
To eliminate the variable x by adding the equations, we need the coefficients of x as the additive inverse of each other, i.e, a and -a So, a+(-a)=0.
It means, we have to convert into -1. It is possible if we multiply the equation (ii) by -5.
On multiplying equation (ii) by -5, we get
...(iii)
On adding (i) and (iii), we get
Here, x is eliminated.
Therefore, the number -5 can be multiplied by the second equation to eliminate the x-variable.

Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles ΔABC and ΔBAD are congruent. So,
- AB ≅ BA;
- AC ≅ BD;
- BC ≅ AD;
- ∠ABC ≅ ∠BAD;
- ∠BCA ≅ ∠ADB;
- ∠CAB ≅ ∠DBA.
Consider triangles AEC and BED. In these triangles,
- AC ≅ BD;
- ∠EAC ≅ ∠EBD (because ∠CBA ≅ ∠BAD);
- ∠AEC ≅ ∠BED (as vertical angles).
So, ΔAEC ≅ ΔBED. Thus,
AE ≅ EB.
This means that segment CD bisects segment AD.
