Multiply each equation by a constant that would help to eliminate the y terms. 2x-5y = -21 3x-3y = -18 What are the resulting equations? 6x-15y = -63 - 15x+15y = 90 6x-15y = 63 -15x+15y = 90 6x-15y=-63

Multiply each equation by a constant that would help to eliminate the y terms.

2x-5y = -21
3x-3y = -18
What are the resulting equations?
6x-15y = -63
- 15x+15y = 90
6x-15y = 63
-15x+15y = 90
6x-15y=-63
- 15x+ 15y = -90

6x-15y=-63
-15x+15y=90

This is because you are multiplying the first equation by a constant of 3 and the second equation by 5 so that you can have -15y and +15y which will cancel each other out.
