Question

Which constant could each equation be multiplied by to eliminate the x variable in this system of equations?

4x + 5y = 62
5x – 3y = 22

Answer 1

Explanation:

4x + 5y = 62 | ×5 |

5x – 3y = 22 | ×4 |

20x + 25y = 310

20x – 12y = 88

_____________--

37y = 222

y = 222/37

y = 6

4x + 5y = 62 | ×3 |

5x – 3y = 22 | ×5 |

12x + 15y = 186

25x – 15y = 110

_____________+

37x = 296

x = 296/37

x = 8
