What should you multiply the first equation top equation by in order toeliminate the variable y when the two equations are added together2x 5y 716x 5y 3 class=

Respuesta :

Given a simultaneous equation as shown below

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x\text{ -5y = 7} \\ -6x\text{ -5y = 3} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ multiply equation (1) by -1} \\ -2x\text{ + 5y = 7} \\ -6x\text{ -5y = 3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the variable of y in the top equation must be multiplied by -1 in order to eliminate y
