To better understand the problem see the attached figure
we have
Multiply by both sides
Group terms that contain the same variable p and move the constant to the other side of the equation
What number can you multiply ONE equation by in the following system to obtain a matching
1 answer:
Answer:
Multiply the second equation by 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Get matching coefficient for elimination
The coefficient of x in both expressions are factors.
So, we can multiply the second equation by 2 to get the coefficient of x in the first.
i.e.
So, the system becomes:
<em>Now, x can be eliminated</em>
