Answer:

Explanation:

2x - 5y = 13

-3x + 2y = 13

multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom one by 2, then add <==

watch...

2x - 5y = 13.....multiply by 3

-3x + 2y = 13....multiply by 2

-----------------

6x - 15y = 39 (result of multiplying by 3)

-6x + 4y = 26 (result of multiplying by 2)

-----------------add

- 11y = 65.....notice how out x terms were eliminated :)
