Question

Write a system of 2 linear equations in 2 variables that you can solve by elimination by multiplying first and that results in a solution he of (2, -5)

Answer 1

x + 2y = -8

-2x - 3y = 11.

Explanation:

x = 2, y = -5

2 + 2(-5) = -8

So one equation could be

x + 2y = -8

Now lets have an equation

-2x - 3y = 11

So to solve this system we would multiply the first equation by 2 and add.
