the solution to the system of equation below is (−2, −1). 2x − 3y = −1 11x − 9y = −13 when the first equation is multiplied by −3, the sum of the two equations is equivalent to 5x = −10.

When the first equation is multiplied by -3, the sum of the two equation and any of the original equations will have the same solution as the original equations. Hence 5x = -10 and 11x - 9x = -13 will have a solution of (-2, -1).
