Answer:
The answer is B. hope this helps
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.

<h3>Answer:</h3>
13 years old
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Let g and m represent grandfather's age now and my age now. The relation 5 years ago was ...
... g -5 = 5(m -5)
The relation in 3 years will be ...
... g +3 = 3(m +3)
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
... 8 = -2m +34
... 2m = 26 . . . . . add 2m-8
... m = 13
My age now is 13.
