HELP PLEASE!!!! I NEED IT ASAP!

Consider the System of equations:

5x- 2y = 16
15x- 7y = 51
Multiply the first equation by some constant, so that in the resulting equation, the coefficient of x matches the coefficient of x in the second equation.
Enter the entire equation that results from multiplying the first equation by the constant.
